Highlights

  • Web–based interface that is easy for students and new staff to use, regardless of previous cataloging experience
  • Access to high quality MARC records in WorldCat
  • Basic editing of bibliographic records
  • Creating spine and pocket labels
  • Exporting OCLC–MARC records to local databases
  • Online documentation and context-sensitive help
