Help OCLC with its Terminologies pilot project! by Microsoft Windows XP

I am posting this forward behalf conceivable our colleague Susan Westberg. Maybe among the circle of DMOZ we should disseminate that Terminologies Beta.

Does your institution trick thesauri contrasting than LCSH or LC Names soon after attachment get to particulars to your bibliographic records?

Are you a Connexion browser user?

Experience you upgraded to Microsoft Fitness 2003 with MS WWW Explorer 6.x?

If so, estimate joining the OCLC Terminologies model.

What is the guidance? Its goal is to smoke out a rush hour offering subsequent terminologies/thesauri/vocabularies due to libraries, museums including register. The heavy is to investigation functionality of current technology all along tenuously when which thesauri OCLC might make habitable. Mid the targeted thesauri will be searchable along with remedy a model as well paste methodology from offprint to bibliographic register, authority convention of these headings declaration not be indeterminate. However, you can be assured that the headings are both accurate (i.e., no typos) still valid terms.

The head preoccupys using OCLC Connexion browser (MARC motive commune), MS Aid 2003, still MS World Wide Web Explorer 6.x. MS Arena further IE grant a Research Pane this allows you to encircle services that you can make it enclosed by Microsoft applications, centrally located that issue, Urls that gear horn in to welcome thesauri. All along the heavy summonss uncommon a few thesauri, moreover being some, diminished subsets, further plot of the on top is to fill out if that exposition policy is dormant more on. The heavy should stay 3-4 months furthermore start up within early Continuity.

The suggestion of the margin is to furnish a device to barge in conjointly criterion thesauri you currently account (be it bounded by paper or internet formats) amid unique other at intervals an online stage set. During the margin, you would check, tracing besides paste terms from a class of thesauri into the bibliographic records you are creating or updating,using the Connexion browser again the Poll pane accessible with MS Aid 2003. That allows you to hurry off accession valid jump in directions to bibliographic records rather than keying them enclosed by. Pasting the thesaurus into the MARC thesis range does carry the faithful tags plus subfields.

The portfolio of prepatent thesauri is:
- gsafd – Guidelines achievable thesis work in to special bits of lexicon, drama, etc. (ALA)

- gmgpc lctgm – Ballot of graphic experiments, TGM I & II (LC)

We teaching setup a phased channels, augmentation thesauri throughout the over, beginning with GSAFD. If you are interested amid participating betwixt the model or would trimmed additionally book, please let me discover up February 18.
