Electronic Gov. Pubs. cataloguing February 13, 2007

The original cataloguers are currently undertaking the cataloguing of approx. 160 e-government publication titles. Most of these titles were pulled out of the ERD when it was converted to the nERD and need to have catalogue records in Morris to make them accessible.
Cataloguers will use the Library and Archives Canada archived URL whenever possible. To find this URL, search the title in Amicus and capture the link contained in the record for the electronic format (or just download the electronic record to Morris from Amicus). If the URL sends you to a document where access is restricted, then prefer the Depository Services (dsp) URL instead. If neither of these is an option, use the URL for the parliamentary site contained in the brief bib.
OCLC Update January 3, 2007

Back in October, we started getting caught up on adding our original cataloguing to OCLC.
With the help of our student workers (who flipped the record status codes) and the original cataloguers (who fixed the problems we found along the way) we are up to date in our reporting. In total, 2,355 new records for our unique holdings were sent to OCLC in the last three months of 2006!
Thanks to all for helping us reach this point. Now that our batch processes are in place, it will be easier for us to stay current in our reporting.

After a long delay, we’re getting caught up on our OCLC reporting. Using the batch processes that we’ve established, more than 900 original cataloguing records have been sent to OCLC in the last three weeks!
Thanks to Karen for creating our new item status code and extracting records from MORRIS and to the original cataloguers for taking on the corrections we’ve needed to make along the way.
No More Printing! September 8, 2006

Thanks to Karen for setting us up with a new item status code for original cataloguing! The new code, “so”, identifies records that need to be sent to OCLC. They will be extracted from MORRIS and loaded to OCLC as a batch process. This change will save us the time we used to spend in printing, filing, and re-searching the records before they were sent to OCLC.
