STRUCTURE OF RECORDS IN MILLENNIUM

    • location
    • call number for volume information
    • due date
  • Current location pulldown menu
• Bibliographic View Screen (MARC Record)
• Item Records

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

• Using extended display

notice branch name, status

notice call number search has less info

• The no hits screen

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)
