accept the default TCP port number of 5151. If you have multiple cataloging

workstations, at each one, you'll need to open System Setup and enter this

information.

If you can currently access Alliance Plus Online and TitlePeek,

you do not need to change this proxy configuration.

Click Save to close the dialog box.

changes that require additional processing (see the previous table for details),

System Setup prompts you to complete the processing. Once a process is

complete, close the progress dialog.

If you changed the Sort Category Index option, remember that the

reindex process requires you to close all other Follett applications

(with the exception of search modules, such as OPAC ).

After preparing for cataloging

After completing the tasks in this chapter, you are ready to start creating (see

page 263) or importing (see page 289) MARC records.

Note:

If you are importing MARC authority as well as bibliographic records, and

you've chosen to generate crossĆreferences automatically, you should

import your bibliographic records first.

Before creating new MARC records, you should consider the following tasks:

S

Customize your MARC bibliographic and authority templates (not available

for Mac OS). For more information about customizing your templates, see

Appendix C, Bibliographic and authority templates."

S

Provide a copy of the Code Table List (see page 504) to the individuals doing

the actual cataloging. This report shows a listing of all the codes and

descriptions for the circulation types, categories, and call number prefixes

you defined in this chapter.

If you purchased Circulation Plus, you still need to complete the tasks in Chapter

5, Preparing to circulate your collection."
If you purchased Catalog Plus, you also need to complete the tasks in Chapter 4,

Setting up Acquisitions," and Chapter 33, Setting up your search stations."
