| Using OML to manipulate
data files |
| This presentation will explore a lesser-known use of
OML (OCLC macro language) for data manipulation. OML can be used to
clean up and "massage" data in files derived from OCLC, from
the local integrated automation system, or from other sources. This
makes it easier to develop local, customized reports as well as to
prepare data for easy import into other applications. See also Harvey's
compilation of
OML sites. |

| Connecting to a Voyager
database |
| The topic is development of a tool that allows
programmers with less-than-gurulike abilities to connect to and search a
Voyager database without having to deal with any of the
connection-associated mess that's common when linking a program to an
external data source. The second thing is the incorporation of this tool
in end-user programs; and that because of the tool, these programs are
fairly simple to throw together. |

| Make your OPAC
communicate with files |
|
Passport for Windows is a powerful application which can save your
institution thousands of dollars and countless hours of staff time each
year. This session introduces you to some of Passport's capabilities
as well as techniques for using its macro language to automate time
consuming staff operations. Passport makes it very easy to make your
opac communicate with files. Because if this, many operations such as
label generation, record updating, authority searching, etc. can be
partially or totally automated.
