Voyager Keyboard Shortcuts for Cataloguing:

Tables


This list of keyboard shortcuts includes both the standard equivalents provided by Endeavor for Voyager's Cataloging Module and the local macros set up by Peter Fletcher for our general in-house use.

Please note:  A number of the shortcuts will not work if a dialogue box is open.  A dialogue box is an open window that requires some type of response before you continue (e.g., a search screen, headings or titles list, item summary, or authorities validation list).
