Via’s Cataloging software integrates the cataloging experience with all other aspects of the Via system. The system interfaces with all major bibliographic utilities. It allows users to create pre-defined templates to minimize or eliminate repetitive input. Via’s intuitive and rapid keyboarding is specifically designed to minimize the number of mouse clicks and pop-up windows. The ability to verify MARC tagging, headings, and codes maximizes cataloging efficiency. Indexing is done in real-time so that the benefits of cataloging are immediately realized.
Ease of MaintenanceVia’s Global Updating utility optimizes and expedites ongoing database maintenance by allowing the insertion, deletion, or editing of any field within any record of any type in the database (e.g., bibliographic, student, item, order, etc.). An authorized user can extract a record list for processing by using any defined index, including keyword. The user can also create such a list by using the report writer software. Next, the user can specify the changes that the global update processing will perform, whether to entire fields or portions of them. Before actually executing the changes, the user can preview their effects–an important and valuable security mechanism. Authority Control enables keying and updating of full MARC authority records, loading of MARC authority records from files obtained via FTP or tape, and loading of records individually from INN-View’s Library of Congress authority file database. Other powerful tools include automatic overnight updating of headings on bibliographic records, extensive reports, and cataloger-controlled global updating of records.
