To search the experimental catalogue:
Go to Cataloguing → Search the Catalog (Experimental).
It is critical to search the database before adding titles, volumes, or copies. Good practice is to assume the item you are adding already exists, and to do an exhaustive search for the item before cataloguing it. By doing so, you will discover whether you need to add your item to an existing title record, or if you need to import or create a new title record. It is very important that you scope your cataloguing searches to the entire Sitka database.
In the experimental catalogue it is now possible to set catalogue related preferences directly in the catalogue.
To set your catalogue preferences:
In the experimental catalogue click on Catalog Preferences.
Set the values you would like for your preferences.
- For cataloguing workstations it is recommended that the Default Search Library be set to Sitka. This will ensure that staff using those workstations are always searching all of Sitka.
Note
The preference set in the staff client override any preferences for the logged in account that have been set in the public catalogue via My Account.
