Select the method to search the database: Title, Author, Call Number,
standard number, Subject, Acquisition Date, Title Date Added/Updated,
Barcode, Category, or No Range (all records). Then select the range, or, if you
chose standard number, enter your list of numbers. Choose to include brief,
full, or both types of records.
For Union Catalog Plus: The Category selection method is not available.
Note:
The MARC records added to the Book Cart include all the copy records
attached to a title, even if you choose a copy field call number,
acquisition date, barcode, or category and select just one copy.
The total number of titles in the Book Cart appears in the lower left corner of the
window. Titles remain in the Book Cart until you close Cataloging or manually
remove them, or until automatically removed by the recon or transfer process.
Reconning titles in the Book Cart
Using the Book Cart to recon records provides two advantages over running an
Alliance Plus autorecon: You can select a subset of your collection to process; and
the titles do not need to have any copies attached to them. The Book Cart does
not distinguish between full and brief records; it recons all the titles on its list.
Once you have placed your titles into the Book Cart, open the Book Cart by
clicking the Book Cart button, or by selecting Tools | Book Cart | View from the
menu. To start the recon, click the Recon button and choose the data source
against which you wish to recon. Click Recon to begin.
Once the recon is complete, records that have been replaced or updated are
removed automatically from the Book Cart. Those remaining either have no
standard number or have no matching record in the data source. Double-click the
record or highlight a record and click the Edit button to enhance these records in
