Connexion
Connexion is OCLC's integrated cataloging service, providing access to WorldCat. Libraries use Connexion to create and edit bibliographic
and authority records, and then share them with other OCLC member libraries. (NOTE: If you are new to OCLC Cataloging or
interested in using Connexion, contact the Minitex BATS unit for more information on the service and how to become an OCLC Member
or cataloging library).
About Connexion
Connexion has two interface options; the Connexion client (Windows based) and the Connexion browser (Web based). There are features
that are unique to both interfaces. View the chart below to compare functionality in each interface.
To find out more about Connexion check out OCLC's Web site. They have a comprehensive list of features, requirements and
