On February 26, 2012, OCLC made changes to the controlling functionality
that links headings in bibliographic records to authority records. These
changes are available to users of both the Windows-based Connexion
client and Web-based Connexion browser.
These include changes to the functionality of Control All. Additional
information for the changes made to controlling can be found in
Technical Bulletin 259:
http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/worldcat/tb/259/259.pdf
·Uncontrols incorrectly controlled headings (descriptive name headings
and/or subject headings)
·Automatically checks for an updated version of the heading text and
updates the text if needed.
* Automatically updates a previously fully or partially controlled
heading with punctuation-only changes.
* Automatically re-evaluates some types of partially controlled
headings and attempts to fully control them.
Connexion Webinars are scheduled for April 2012 that will include
detailed information on the controlling changes noted above. More
information on the Webinar will be distributed in the future. Please
contact [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> with any questions
related to these changes.
The following change was made to the Web-based Connexion browser interface:
Using the Insert from Cited Record command in the Function list for the
appropriate field, you can insert series added entry fields 800, 810,
811, and 830 from cited records in addition to inserting linked entry
fields 760 to 787. The added entry fields let you relate a volume in a
series to the series, for example.
