Local Holdings Maintenance with the Connexion Browser - Online
Description:
http://www.bcr.org/training/online/weblive/wl-localholdings.html 

Description:
This online workshop provides participants with the skills required to
maintain local holdings data for serial items in WorldCat by using the
Connexion Browser interface. Local Holdings Record Maintenance replaces
the Union Listing service. Adding Local Holdings Records (LHRs) will
increase the efficiencies in Resource Sharing activities by providing
specific information about your journal and magazine ownership.

Topics covered include:

*Searching efficiently for LHRs by institution and group. 
*Learning to navigate search results, as well as adding, deleting and
updating LHRs. 
*Implementing Agent services. 

Minimal instruction in the MARC Format for Holdings Data will be
provided. Those who wish comprehensive instruction on MFHD should take
BCR's SCCTP Serials Holdings workshop:
http://www.bcr.org/training/workshops/SCCTP-serialholdings.html 

Who Should Attend
Anyone who previously performed Union List service for individual
institutions or as agents or anyone interested in adding item level
information to WorldCat.

Prerequisites None. Connexion Browser experience is helpful, but not
necessary.

Dates & Times
February 5-7, 2008 (2 p.m.-4 p.m. Mountain Time each day)
This class is taught on three consecutive days. Students need to attend
all three classes to get the most out of the workshop.

How to Get Started
The workshop is accessed from your own or your library's computer using
a Web browser. Details will be included in your confirmation letter
after registration.

Minimum requirements: Computer (minimum of 128 MB of RAM, although 256
MB is recommended); Internet Explorer 5.5 Web browser, Java enabled;
speakers; and Internet access of 56k or above. A microphone connected to
the computer is highly recommended for the audio, which also is
available by a long-distance phone bridge (not a toll-free number).

BCR will provide a microphone to you free of charge to use during
WebLive workshops, if you don't already have one. Please indicate this
on your registration form, and we will ship it to your attention.

Fee
$125 for BCR members
$175 for nonmembers
Voucher: 1 BCR training voucher

The presentation can be viewed and heard by a group of people at a
single computer. If this is the case, please register only one attendee
who will log in on behalf of the group (send a list of names for other
participants).

Alternatively, the presentation can be viewed and heard by multiple
people from the same institution at separate workstations. If this is
the case, please register each individual attendee who needs to log in
to the class.

NOTE: Regardless of whether you attend as an individual or as a group,
the price for the online workshop is $125 for BCR members and $175 for
nonmembers for each person who views the session.
