WebDewey/Abridged WebDewey November 2003 Enhancement

Dewey Services Work Area Enhancement

The November release includes the following interface improvement:

  • Work Area - now easily access the work area from the bottom of long records

Work Area

Introduced October 2003, the Work Area is a free text input line in the Dewey Services interface that lets you input your base number and add to that number as you read number-building instructions. Unlike the quick search/quick browse feature, the work area does not persist at the top of your screen as you scroll through long records. For this reason, we have implemented a work area dialog box, which you can open with the keyboard shortcut, <Alt>+<Shift>+<.>.

Enter number building data in the dialog box, press enter, and that information will be retained in the work area throughout the interface.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Remember, OCLC Connexion already contains a number of keyboard shortcuts. If "Dewey Services" is your *active tab, the following shortcuts activate the following buttons:

<Alt> + <1> Search (WebDewey or Abridged WebDewey)
<Alt> + <2> Browse (WebDewey or Abridged WebDewey)
<Alt> + <3> Create (blank User Note)
<Alt> + <4> Show (Active Records screen)
<Alt> + <=> Search History (History will vary depending on your active screen)
<Alt> + <W> Work Area toggle on/off
<Alt> + <.> Focuses cursor on the Work Area
<Alt> + <Shift>+ <.> Work area dialog

*You can get to the Dewey Services tab in OCLC Connexion with the shortcut, <Alt>+<D>.
