Cataloging allows you to add, edit, duplicate, and delete item and patron records. To access Cataloging, you must sign in to Oasis with the proper permissions. After you’ve signed in, Oasis displays the tabs for all library functions that you have permission to access.

 

The bibliographic and patron record editors are accessed from the Catalog’s Search page and Results page, and the holding record editor is accessed from the Details page.

 

When you have created or edited a record and are ready to save it, keep in mind that any fields left empty in the record will be deleted when you save the record. If you do not want empty fields to be deleted, change the Strip Empty Fields entry in the Global.ini.REG file (the default path is C:\M3 Server\Registry\Common) to OVERRIDE=on. This setting will take effect the next time you start the record editor. Authority Control users should not change this setting.
