Browse Events to see if this course is currently being offered.
Description: The migration to the Connexion Client offers cataloging managers an opportunity to rethink cataloging workflow and take advantage of functionality that they did not have previously, were not aware of, or did not make full use of. This hands-on class will emphasize OCLC cataloging workflow options, Connexion Client techniques that can save staff time, and offline supplementary OCLC cataloging services that can be used to streamline cataloging workflow.

Passport users in particular can learn about the benefits of using local files and offline editing, as well as batch searching, and all catalogers can learn to work more efficiently by using the various Connexion Client functionalities that automate repetitive tasks.
