Disables Orders access

Disabling access to a function does not affect the options that you previously set

in those functions.

Example:

You previously checked Local Database and Alliance Plus in the Data

Sources Setup dialog. If you clear the Data Source Selection in this dialog, users

still have the ability to search the local and the Alliance Plus databases. They

cannot, however, change those choices.

To limit access, click OK, and Yes to the confirmation message.
To restore the workstation to full operation, select File | Restore Full Access. In

the password dialog, type the password you defined previously, and click OK.
Cataloging saves your password and functionality settings, allowing you to limit

access easily again. Because Cataloging saves the information locally, you can set

up each workstation differently.
Closing and reopening the application does not change its access mode; if you

close Cataloging while access is limited, access is limited when you reopen it.
For Union Catalog Plus: If you run the site application and the union catalog

application on the same workstation, you can set up their Limit Cataloging

Access dialogs differently. The passwords and settings are saved in

separate locations.

Finding MARC records in your collection

Almost every cataloging task starts with a search for a MARC record. Depending

on which Follett applications and products you purchased, you may have several

sources to search for MARC records.
Before you add a new record, it's a good idea to search your library (or union

catalog) database to make certain it doesn't already exist. Duplicate titles can

confuse your patrons, enlarge your database, and skew your statistics. You might

also find an existing record that would require only minor modifications to meet

your needs.
