Changes to Connexion controlling
On February 26, 2012, OCLC made changes to the controlling functionality that links headings in bibliographic records to authority records. These changes are available to users of both the Windows-based Connexion client and Web-based Connexion browser.
These include changes to the functionality of Control All.   Additional information for the changes made to controlling can be found in Technical Bulletin 259: http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/worldcat/tb/259/259.pdf

*       Uncontrols incorrectly controlled headings (descriptive name headings and/or subject headings)

*       Automatically checks for an updated version of the heading text and updates the text if needed.

  *   Automatically updates a previously fully or partially controlled heading with punctuation-only changes.
  *   Automatically re-evaluates some types of partially controlled headings and attempts to fully control them.
Connexion Webinars are scheduled for April 2012 that will include detailed information on the controlling changes noted above.  More information on the Webinar will be distributed in the future.  Please contact support at oclc.org<mailto:support at oclc.org> with any questions related to these changes.

The following change was made to the Web-based Connexion browser interface:
Using the Insert from Cited Record command in the Function list for the appropriate field, you can insert series added entry fields 800, 810, 811, and 830 from cited records in addition to inserting linked entry fields 760 to 787. The added entry fields let you relate a volume in a series to the series, for example.
