Connexion Client Training Q&A Series, Session 4

Gather with CARLI staff and your technical services colleagues to discuss Alma technical services topics, from acquisitions and cataloging workflows for physical resources to electronic resources management. Each session will include how-to presentations, discussion of consortial practices, and opportunities for questions and answers from CARLI and colleagues alike.

CARLI’s Technical Services Committee has identified a need to provide increased opportunities for cataloging training that meets different levels of staff and combines expert training with discussion. OCLC’s existing nine-module Connexion client training is a recognized source of quality training. The Committee will supplement these training modules with live discussion sessions in the Collection Client Training Q&A Series, giving those that view the training modules a venue to answer questions they may have about content covered in each module.

OCLC’s recorded modules are hosted in OCLC's Support site. To view each session, click the “View a recorded session” link, then “register” to view the recording. After completing your registration, the session recording will begin playing in a WebEx media player.

Please note these modules cover Connexion client, not Connexion browser. Whereas some of the information may be applicable to both, this training is specifically focused on Connexion client. Note also that the Q&A sessions are not watch sessions. Q&A attendees should view the training modules in advance.

Module 7: Advanced Bibliographic Searching includes a recording  (100 minutes) and a learner guide. Discussion led by Jackie Zook, Northeastern Illinois University.

Module 8: Original Cataloging includes a recording (111 minutes) and a learner guide. Discussion led by Susan Howell, Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
