OCLC Connexion Client:  Authority Record Searching and Saving Commands

Introduction

This quick-reference list represents a selection of commonly used commands used when searching and saving authority records in the OCLC Connexion Client.   It covers searching and browsing authority records in the LC/NACO Name and Subject authority files as well as saving and searching records in the online and local authority save files.

For each one, multiple approaches are given:

• Menu:  the sequence of menu selections that lead to that command
• Icon or symbol:  the toolbar icon (when present in the default toolbar)
• Keyboard shortcut:  key combinations or function keys that perform the command

For additional locally selected lists of Connexion commands, see:  "OCLC Connexion Client:  Lists of Commands."

For more complete lists and discussion of commands, see the OCLC Connexion Client Documentation page:  a comprehensive set of reference documents on many aspects of the Connexion client, covering topics from getting started to the finer points of searching, using save files, and editing.   This set now includes a Connexion Client Cataloging Quick Reference page, compiling information into a single (somewhat long) document.
