Summary: This page describes procedures for student employees searching for records in WorldCat.
This page is SkyRiver-oriented and needs to be updated. |
WorldCat is a secondary source for information when looking for records. Many of our bibliographers use it and it is acceptable copy for sending us records and as an order form if no SkyRiver record is available. (If you have been given an OCLC First Search order request, you do not need to type an order request card). First Search is a source for additional information and order clarification only. But for pre-searching orders, please use SkyRiver copy.
Use of bullet points or a numbered list is recommended for short procedures! Avoid paragraphs and use brief phrases to list each separate action.
Other useful page elements are available to you in the macros found via the plus button on the command bar. Consider using the "tip" macro or the "note" macro, or the "warning" macro if you want to visually separate an important piece of info in your procedures. The grid button on the command bar is also helpful for easily creating tables.
