CAT ADMINISTRATION

Chapter 3. WORKING WITH RECORDS

   

 


Working with Records - Overview

CAT Administration allows you to download bibliographic records, in MARC 21 format, to a file on a local computer. Downloaded records can be imported into local circulation systems or card labeling systems. You may download records from any database to which your library has access. CAT Administration allows you to download a single MARC record, or to save multiple MARC records to a Download Cart for simultaneous download.

You can also use the MARC Tag Report function to generate reports listing all bibliographic records within a Union database containing a specified term in a selected field.

NOTE: To ensure downloaded records are saved with the proper .mrc extension, the .mrc file type must be defined for your workstation. Refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation for the procedures for creating file types.
