new, next-generation cataloging system.
Connexion offers new functionality, including two easy-to-use interfaces
for WorldCat searching and editing, controlling headings (automated
heading verification), enhanced online save file, constant data
file searching and management, larger record size, support for Dublin
Core, and the ability to harvest metadata for cataloging Web resources.

Browser Interface: |
The Web-based, easy-to-use
interface to the Connexion cataloging system provides full OCLC online
cataloging functionality. Offers support for harvesting metadata to
catalog Web resources. Provides access to WebDewey and Abridged WebDewey
and to OCLC PICA database.
No additional software required, only a Web browser is needed.

Connexion Browser Web page |

Client Interface: |
The flexible and powerful
Windows-based software interface to the Connexion cataloging system provides
full OCLC online cataloging functionality, which includes menus, icons,
and customizable keystrokes available for every command. Macros allow
the cataloger to combine commands and execute them all with a single
keystroke, and batch
processing, offline editing, and local files allow the cataloger an opportunity to work more efficiently.
For more information and to download the Client software, visit the
OCLC Connexion
Client Web page. A valid OCLC authorization number is required
to download the client. |
| Interface Comparison: |
See the OCLC
Connexion Interface Chart to compare the functionality of the
two interfaces. |
