Forwarded on behalf of Susan Westberg, with apologies in advance for duplicate postings. > The CORC February 24, 2002 installation includes submit and retrieval of > authority records for NACO institutions under review, and some problem > fixes. This information will be available in the CORC News area after the > February installation. Following is more information about these changes. > > Authorities > > As announced in the October 2001 CORC installation, for CORC NACO > institutions, both "Submit Record to National Review File" and a responded > file will be available. The user may submit an edited workform or > existing authority record to the National Review File for Library of > Congress staff to review. Once the record has been reviewed, LC staff > "Respond" the record back to the institution. The NACO user at that point > has the option to retrieve the responded record through CORC, CatME, or > Passport interfaces, regardless of which interface was used to submit the > authority record. However, if a responded authority record is retrieved > through the CORC interface, it may only be saved to the CORC Authorities > Save File. It is no longer available through CatME or Passport. This > action is available from the CORC Authorities database or the Authorities > Save File. > > The NACO user may access responded authority records from CORC > Authorities/Show/Responded File. When the Authority Responded File is > displayed, the user gets a list of records that contain a truncated 1xx > field, the ARN, the LCCN and an expiration date. The records may be > tagged or marked either from the Action menu dropdown, or one by one. > Once the records have been tagged, the action "transfer tagged records" > will move the records from the Responded File to the institution's CORC > Authorities Save File. NOTE: If the records have been tagged and the > user leaves the display prior to transferring any tagged records, the > tag/s will not persist. The user would need to tag the records again for > transfer. > > Several problem fixes will also be installed > * The CORC RC Cataloging Source index was not being generated > correctly (i.e., drawing from the MARC 040 $a & $c). This will be > corrected. > * Default indicators for field 245 in MARC workforms will change from > 10 to 00. > * Added the text "Field" to Functions dropdown actions Cut, Copy and > Paste for the Identifier in the Dublin Core Template View to match the > function names in the MARC Template View. > * Added the text "Heading" to the Function dropdown actions Control > and Uncontrol in the Dublin Core Template View to match the function names > in the MARC Template View. > * When a record is added to the Active records page, and a > title/heading is available to display, the term New1, New 2, etc. will not > be retained. This change does not apply to Constant Data records that have > not yet been added to the database. > * The "Edit" option was removed from the Functions dropdown for Dublin > CORC "Identifier/URI" when the URL is not hotlinked. > * The institution displayed for Entered Date is different when in > Dublin Core Textarea view than in other views. This will now match other > views. > > Browser Compatibility Information > > Currently, CORC and CatExpress work well with versions of Netscape 4.75, > 4.76, 6.1 and 6.01 as well as Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 5.0 or 5.5, > but not Netscape 6.0. IE 6.0 is still being tested for compatibility. > > Feedback about CORC is welcome.
