Connexion : Add-on services

Extend your cataloging with add-on services

Additional cataloging-related functionality can be added to the OCLC Connexion browser. When you add some of these options, a new tab appears in Connexion browser and the service is available with a single click.

Current add-on services include Accessions List, Bibliographic Record Notification, Cataloging Label Program, Dewey services, Dewey Cutter program, Digital Archive, eSerials Holdings, Local Holdings Maintenance, PromptCat, and Terminologies Services.

Accessions List

Receive a list of recently cataloged acquisitions in electronic format to increase your library's visibility.

Bibliographic Record Notification

Reduce your catalog maintenance by automatically receiving upgraded catalog records. Records upgraded from minimal to full level, that have TOC added or enhanced, or that have new, changed or deleted 856 fields can be delivered to your library based on your preferences.

Cataloging Label Program

Print cataloging labels directly from bibliographic records displayed in the Connexion browser using OCLC's Cataloging Label Program. The program lets you edit labels; specify print constants, ranges and copy numbers; and print multiple copies. You can also save labels for printing at a later time. The program supports printing to pin feed or laser stock.

Dewey services

Connexion provides the power of Dewey through the Web as an add-on service. This option gives you access to an enhanced version of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC22) database or to the 13th abridged edition of the DDC database.

Dewey Cutter program

This Windows application is used with Connexion browser to automatically provide cutter numbers from the OCLC Four-Figure Cutter Tables (Cutter Four-Figure Table and Cutter-Sanborn Four-Figure Table) upon input of text. The program is similar to the Dewey Cutter macro that is used with Connexion client, Passport, and CatME.

Digital Archive

Connexion also allows you to catalog resources that have been digitally preserved through the OCLC Digital Archive. The Digital Archive provides a long-term solution for the life cycle management of digital collections that is safe, reliable, and standards-based. A format protection service ensures continued access to collections as technology evolves. You can work with the OCLC Preservation Service Centers to prepare your content for digital storage or use OCLC tools to create metadata within your current workflow.

eSerials Holdings

Make your library's electronic serials collection more visible to your users and staff
by adding your electronic serials holdings to WorldCat in an efficient and
cost-effective way. Increase the value of the investments your library has made
in your electronic serials collection, serials management services and in WorldCat.

Local Holdings Maintenance

Reduce or eliminate unproductive loan requests for materials you don't hold by adding detailed holdings in WorldCat. Choose how you update local holdings records—through batch processing, online interactive updating or a combination of the two.

PromptCat

Automate much of your copy cataloging by receiving materials with full OCLC-MARC records ready to use.

Terminologies Services

Access multiple controlled vocabularies to help you create consistent metadata for your library, museum, or archive collections.
