Exporting to Sirsi:
Once you have added all the information from the xml file to the OCLC Connexion file, validate the subject and author headings, validate the record (make corrections as needed), attach Rice Holdings and then export the file to Sirsi.
Changes in Sirsi:
Once you have exported the record from OCLC Connexion, import the file into Sirsi as an approval type. Open the file in Modify Title.
- In the Control tab, change the date to today.
- In the Call Number/Item tab, change the Call Number to the MS. # or UA #.

Adding the Barcodes:
Woodson will supply you with a list of barcodes to add. Only add the barcodes that have a number next to them.
Never change the Home Location to LSC-WRC. This is only done when the item has been taken by the LSC and is now stored in the LSC.
Information to send back to Woodson:
After you have imported the file into Sirsi and added the barcodes, email Woodson to let them know that the record has been added. Include the title control number in the email.
