Description

Have you heard that CatExpress and Connexion Browser are retiring soon? OCLC is focusing their attention on WorldShare Record Manager. This web based bibliographic utility accesses the WorldCat union catalog and gives catalogers the tools they need for copy cataloging and original cataloging work. Join Elissah Becknell (Minitex) and Elizabeth Tuckwood (Minnesota State Law Library) as they talk about adopting this bibliographic utility into their cataloging practice and point out important features and cool discoveries along the way. The presenters switched from Connexion Client to WorldShare Record Manager, however this is not a required change if you currently use Connexion Client, that bibliographic utility will continue to be supported by OCLC. 

Audience: Anyone interested in learning more about OCLC WorldShare Record Manager, especially those currently using CatExpress or Connexion Browser.
