IRCR RECORD RETRIEVAL & PROCESSING

Programs are run daily to capture machine generated records created by means of the Internet Resource Cataloging Request Form (ICRM). If there is a file to be retrieved, e-mail notification is sent to Kate, Melanie and Iris. The e-mail will consist of 2 hot links. The first link connects to a file containing the day's MARC records. The second link connects to a text version of the records. Use the text version to preview the file, if desired.

  • Click on the link for the MARC Records in the e-mail..

  • The default download option is Save This File to Disk. Click OK.

  • Save the records to the Voyager Workfile or Import file. The file name will begin with ircr, the file creation date and a .bin extension.

    To save to the Workfile, use the path My computer/Local disk C/Voyager/Local/Workfiles

    To save to the Import file, use the path My computer/Local disk C/Voyager/Local/Imports

  • Open the cataloging client.

  • Open the Work file or Import file as usual and select the file begining with ircr

    Note: The work file is under File/Work Record. Be sure to select "all" as the type of file.

  • Import records as usual.

  • After cataloging the resource (usually at access level), change the 965 ircr code to ircrc for tracking purposes.
