Create original records using one of the following methods:
Create records for the following MARC formats:
Note: To change the MARC format of the record at any time, select a format from the drop-down list at the top of the fixed field. The list is available only when you have the fixed field display option set to Top or Bottom (View > OCLC Fixed Field).
Alternative: Set an option to use RDA-based workforms to create bibliographic records instead of using the default workforms based on AACR2 in Tools > Options > RDA.
No minimum authorization level is required to create records.
Create original records online or offline. To create a bibliographic record from a workform when you are logged off, you must define a holding library code and institution symbol for fields 040 and 049. When you create a bibliographic record from a workform while you are logged on, the client uses the holding library code and institution symbol associated with your logon authorization.
The Connexion client supports using these non-Latin scripts for cataloging: Arabic, Armenian, Bengali, Chinese, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Ethiopic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Syriac, Tamil, and Thai.
