BIBLIOGRAPHIC SERVICES MONTHLY REPORT for May 2000

Bibliographic Services catalogued 2,260 titles in May 2000

CATALOGUE ENHANCEMENT

141 bibliographic records for microforms from the OCLC Worldcat Set of Health, Physical Education and Recreation were loaded into Yorkline in May.

After the conversion of the SIRSI database to Release 9.2.4 we successfully upgraded the GUI client on Bibliographic Services workstations.

The "Classics in the History of Psychology Website", an electronic resource created by York professor, Christopher D. Green, was catalogued in Yorkline. Electronic links were also made from individual resources in his site which match bibliographic records in Yorkline. Bibliographic records will be created for resources in his site which did not match existing bibliographic records or are resources not in Yorkline.

Multivolume Clean-up Project:

Linda Gamble; Mary Slinn and Linda Smith corrected 12 titles and 60 volumes.
