  19. Automation Update Sirsi Workflows Upgrade over summer! If WF installed under (each) user login to the computer, library staff member can do update. If unsure how installed, ask school or district tech support to uninstall, remove Sirsi folders, and reinstall under each user login to the computer.

  20. RDA – Resource Description and Access Just getting started Will make our library metadata more user focused, more globally-minded, and more easily used Includes changes in terminology, formatting, and the addition of some MARC fields Catalog records will remain in MARC (for awhile) Transition to RDA will be a function of SIRSI integration

  21. Automation Update For Now: AACR2  RDA Cataloging: Some vendors are offering RDA compliant MARC records For the time being, stick with AACR2, until notified otherwise

  22. Automation Update Discussion: The INFOhio Videos and eBooks can be included in the OPAC search results by default. This is currently available only at the ITC level. (District-level is a future enhancement.) Suggestion: activate the option and see how it goes. Thoughts?

  23. Automation Update Reading Level Report Tip • Take the reading level search syntax from the OPAC and use it within Workflows to: • Search for items via the Item Search/Display wizard • Generate a CAT: Shelflist Report of items matching the OPAC search criteria • Works for Lexiles, Accelerated Reader, and Reading Counts

  24. Reading Level Report Lexile example: From the OPAC Reading level search, enter the desired scores

  25. Reading Level Report Copy the syntax that appears above the search results

  26. Reading Level Report Paste the search syntax into the Item Search/Display wizard within Workflows Remove the “ ”, select the General Index and Keyword Search Type

  27. Reading Level Report Generate a CAT: Shelflist report (INFOhio tab) Recommendation: add the search criteria in the Report Title so that it displays in the header of the finished report

  28. Reading Level Report • Paste the search syntax into the search string tab/field, again removing the “ ” • Enter the library on the Item Selection tab • Select Output Options as desired • Brief/Long = RTF • Spreadsheet = Plain Text

  29. Reading Level Report Add other search terms as desired

  30. Reading Level Report If you have added a search term, remove both the “ ” and any occurrences of “keyword” from the search syntax use this same, cleaned-up syntax for the shelflist search string

  31. Reading Level Report Similar to the above, for Accelerated Reader, if entering reading levels and points, remove the “ ” and any occurrences of “keyword” from the search syntax to use in Item Search/Display

  32. Reading Level Report The Accelerated Reader example above becomes a bit trickier in the CAT: Shelflist report Take the syntax which has already been cleanedup from the OPAC (“ ” and keyword removed) Remove ACCELERATED READER SAME from the beginning Tack ‘and Accelerated Reader’ onto the end

  33. Reading Level Report So this... becomes this... {READPROG}>=060<=080 SAME {READPROG}>=10075<=10080 AND Accelerated Reader Full disclosure: The above may not always match the OPAC results 100%, but it is reasonably close.
