To search the catalogue for holdings select Cataloguing → Search the Catalogue.
When searching for cataloguing purposes it is important to ensure that you search the entire consortium.
- (GLCONS is the Green Land Consortium on Sitka’s training server.)
Select the Numeric Search tab. It will be open by default if it’s set as your Default Search Pane.
You can search by ISBN, UPC, ISSN, LCCN, TCN, or Item Barcode.
Enter your search criteria and click Search.
Your results are displayed. Refer to the section called “Viewing Search Results for Cataloguing Purposes” for information on determining which result to add your holding to.
Tip
- UPC’s are only recognized by the Numeric Search when the 024 indicator 1 is coded as "1" for Universal Product Code.
- If searching a LCCN do not use a hyphen, add a 0 in place of a hyphen, e.g. 2001001234.
- If an OCLC number is nine digits then Evergreen uses ocn as a prefix. For example: ocn123456789.
- If an OCLC number is less than 8 digits then Evergreen uses ocm as a prefix. In addition Evergreen will automatically prefix the number with zeros so that it is nine digits. For example: ocm01234567, or ocm00123456.
