REGULAR CLEAN-UP/GLOBAL UPDATES

Have a fairly powerful program to make corrections, if we can come up with a search picks up what we want to change fairly easily without a lot of mistakes. Redundancy in data makes more likely for mistakes to be entered somewhere, but makes them easier to find in some cases.
EXAMPLE: CAN'T correct mispelled names.
EXAMPLE: could switch all instances of a location code

SEARCHING

notice branch name, status

notice call number search has less info

Your search query has been changed... Tried: (aligator and pickle and euphoria) no results found... Tried: (alligator or pickle or euphoria)

71 results found. sorted by relevance.

searching for nonfiction in picture books
Millennium hotkeys
- How to find them
- ctrl-< and ->
- ctrl-[ and -]
- alt-n to switch search index
Subject rotation
keyword limiting allowed in Millennium, use advanced search in OPAC
Experiment!--example of unknownable ("t:history and a:john and a:paul" vs. title "history with limits author "john" and author "paul")
there is a staff view that has the same info as Millennium (not recommended)
there is a Millennium manual (with lots of stuff that doesn't apply)
