Abstract

At the University of Nevada, Las Vergas (UNLV), increases in student population and the creation of new academic programmes resulted in the recruitment of additional teaching faculty. This growth increased acquisitions budgets and collections. Library staff then faced a cataloguing backlog of hundreds of video titles. Describes how the library solved the backlog problem by implementing 'cataloguing shortcuts'. Outlines the previous cataloguing process and the elements which were streamlined by implementing shortcuts. The number of videos catalogued went from 604 in the 1991/2 academic year (prior to the shortcuts) to 804 titles in 1992/3 and 883 titles in 1993/4. The Special Formats Cataloguer now has time to work on formats other than video

Abstract

Describes a program called FastCat which has been developed at the University of Nevada; Las Vegas (UNLV) in an effort to reduce cataloguing time. Written in Microsoft Visual Basic and running under Microsoft Windows, the program connects OCLC, a bibliographic utility, and INNOPAC, an online catalogue. Explains how the cataloguer's workstation allows a number of windows to these facilities to be open at the same time and data to be manipulated between them, through downloading and cutting and pasting. Notes also the facilities offered by the program to generate spine lables, bindary slips and statistics, and a number of enhancements the system which are in the offering
