The Online Catalog  fiicon.gif (177 bytes)

point.gif (205 bytes) The online catalog locates all records which match a search key the user has entered, and allows the user to move back and forth through them. There is a provision for subkey searching, in which a second key must be found in the record before the data will appear on the screen.  The second key may be the physical location of the item if you prefer.

point.gif (205 bytes) Indexed searching may be done by author, title, subject, call number, record or accession number, and non-indexed searching may be done by anything at all

point.gif (205 bytes) Full Boolean searching is available

point.gif (205 bytes) Subjects may be browsed or entered directly, and SEE and SEE ALSO references are accessed if available. Pamphlets and films are integrated into the file as well.

point.gif (205 bytes) Any title may be assigned a two-letter code instead of a call number, and all titles have a location code, allowing for multiple branches or locations within a branch

point.gif (205 bytes) The system can also make a printed copy of any record, and can search the circulation file to see if a given title has been checked out

point.gif (205 bytes) Bibliographies may be created, and proofing is available

point.gif (205 bytes) Material which doesn’t have CIP or full cataloging details available may be entered as well, a feature designed for libraries which must arrange to borrow facilities from a nearby larger library.  Author, title, publisher, date, and collation are listed, based on the theory that it is easy to take a printout to a neighboring facility.  Anything entered this way may be searched online, and when the missing data has been obtained the new information is added to the record.

point.gif (205 bytes) You can maintain authority control, browse by subjects, authors, or titles, and print bibliographies
