About the simplified cataloging interface
What is simplified cataloging?
The simplified cataloging interface offers a streamlined WorldShare Record Manager view focused on a straightforward approach to cataloging. A user who is logged in to Record Manager and has been assigned one of the compatible roles in WorldShare Admin is able to complete cataloging actions based on their permissions, including:
- Searching for bibliographic records
- Viewing bibliographic records in a read only view
- Adding local data
- Setting and deleting holdings
- Exporting record lists
- Creating spine labels
