Successful Searching in OCLC Connexion: Basic Searching for Catalogers
|
|
This workshop introduces the basic methods of searching in and navigating through WorldCat (the OCLC Online Union Catalog). We will utilize the Browser interface to the OCLC Connexion service, but the searching techniques apply equally to the Client interface so the workshop provides the skills necessary to search in both interfaces.
At the end of this workshop you will be able to:- Use the Connexion Search and Browse Screens
- Construct OCLC numeric search keys and use keyword searching to retrieve bibliographic records in WorldCat using online interactive searching techniques
- Use phrase searching (scan command) using online interactive searching techniques
- Navigate among records and manipulate screen displays
