Favorite Features
• Constant data
• Use to create template of routinely added field data
• Multiple record harvest
• Harvests multiple links off a page at one time
• Harvester
• Creates a base CORC record from HTML data
• Authority control
• Will be useful for maintenance & possibly future
linking to other sites by or about heading
Cataloger Workflow
• Create constant data, if needed
• Harvest the site/multiple record harvest
• Harvest puts records into 28-day save file
• Add holdings to records in CORC; on your
command harvests ones selected
• Edit the record, including any auth. control
• Submit to stable data base
• Export to OPAC, as necessary
RC Record Applications
• Embedded metadata
• DC HTML or RDF display placed at top of page
HTML data for universal search retrieval
• Tagged records for pathfinders
• CORC records can be found tagged and imported
into a pathfinder, establishing a link for URL
maintenance

• Records containing 856s cataloged using regular
