FirstSearch links to your scoped catalog
by Kate Boyle 22 May '14

22 May '14

+++ Please route to appropriate personnel +++ Everyone- Today I logged into the FirstSearch Administrative account for every SWAN library and updated the links, when necessary, to your scoped catalog. Previously these links were addressed to the former catalog address of swan.mls.lib.il.us . This address has now been updated to http://catalog.swanlibraries.net/search~Sx (the x being your individual scoping code). The updating at OCLC of these changes usually takes overnight. You should be able to test these links tomorrow in FirstSearch. I updated the ISBN search to the new catalog address also. This updating should now allow patrons and other libraries to quickly verify the status of your item in the SWAN catalog, just as they did previously when using FirstSearch. If anyone should have any questions regarding this, don't hesitate to call me. Everyone have a great Memorial Day.
