WorldShare Record Manager Release Notes, June 2023

Display of Request IDs

When working in Record Manager you will now see a "Copy OCLC Support Details" link in the left panel that allows you to copy the request IDs in case you need to report a problem to OCLC support.

Previously the Request IDs as such were listed here and the link said "Copy Request IDs".

Adding a relator term subfield to Library of Congress headings returned a system error message

You can now add relator term subfields to a Library of Congress heading in a field when adding or editing  bibliographic records. Previously adding a relator term returned a system error message. 

The option to create authority records  was missing for some libraries

The option to create authority records is now available again in the "Create Record" pop-up window for all libraries whose OCLC symbol contains a special character.

A complex query when searching the Canadiana authority file returned incorrect results

You can now submit a query that contains multiple indexes and Boolean operators when searching the Canadiana authority file. Previously this returned incorrect or incomplete results in some cases.
