Automation Update
Sirsi Workflows Upgrade over summer!If WF installed under (each) user login to the computer, library staff member can do update.If unsure how installed, ask school or district tech support to uninstall, remove Sirsi folders, and reinstall under each user login to the computer.
RDA – Resource Description and Access
Just getting started Will make our library metadata more user focused,
more globally-minded, and more easily usedIncludes changes in terminology, formatting, and
the addition of some MARC fieldsCatalog records will remain in MARC (for awhile)Transition to RDA will be a function of SIRSI
integration
Automation Update
For Now:AACR2 RDA Cataloging:Some vendors are offering RDA compliant MARC recordsFor the time being, stick with AACR2, until notified otherwise
Automation Update
Discussion:The INFOhio Videos and eBooks can be included in
the OPAC search results by default.This is currently available only at the ITC level.
(District-level is a future enhancement.)Suggestion: activate the option and see how it goes.
Thoughts?
Automation Update
Reading Level Report TipTake the reading level search syntax from the
OPAC and use it within Workflows to: Search for items via the Item Search/Display wizard Generate a CAT: Shelflist Report of items matching
the OPAC search criteriaWorks for Lexiles, Accelerated Reader, and
Reading Counts
Reading Level Report
Lexile example:From the OPAC Reading level search, enter the desired scores
Reading Level Report
Copy the syntax that appears above the search results
Reading Level Report
Paste the search syntax into the Item Search/Display wizard within Workflows
Remove the “ ”, select the General Index and Keyword Search Type
Reading Level Report
Generate a CAT: Shelflist report (INFOhio tab)Recommendation: add the search criteria in the
Report Title so that it displays in the header of the finished report
Reading Level Report
Paste the search syntax into the search string tab/field, again removing the “ ”
Enter the library on the Item Selection tab
Select Output Options as desired Brief/Long = RTF Spreadsheet = Plain Text
Reading Level Report
Add other search terms as desired
Reading Level Report
If you have added a search term, remove both the “ ” and any occurrences of “keyword” from the search syntax
use this same, cleaned-up syntax for the shelflist search string
Reading Level Report
Similar to the above, for Accelerated Reader, if entering reading levels and points, remove the “ ” and any occurrences of “keyword” from the search syntax to use in Item Search/Display
Reading Level Report
The Accelerated Reader example above becomes a bit trickier in the CAT: Shelflist reportTake the syntax which has already been cleaned
up from the OPAC (“ ” and keyword removed)Remove ACCELERATED READER SAME from the
beginningTack ‘and Accelerated Reader’ onto the end
Reading Level Report
So this...
becomes this...
{READPROG}>=060<=080 SAME {READPROG}>=10075<=10080 AND Accelerated Reader
Full disclosure: The above may not always match the OPAC results 100%, but it is reasonably close.
