Defining your nonDX members

To add nonDX members to your union catalog, you must enter each member's

site and cataloging information in the union catalog's System Setup. To help set

up your members quickly and accurately, gather the following information

before you start:



Each member's official name, as it should appear on reports, and a short but

recognizable version of their name, which will identify their holdings in the

union catalog's Cataloging, OPAC, and WebCollection Plus applications.



Member contact information.



Each member's MARC Organization Code.



The barcode symbology each member uses for library materials.



A list of each member's circulation types the codes and descriptions they

use to identify their different lending periods (e.g., overnight, oneweek, etc.).



A list of each member's categories the codes and descriptions they use to

group related items in their collections (e.g., new items, reading lists, etc.).

Important: 

 The setup information you enter for the member must match the

setup information at the member's site. If there are differences, you

may encounter problems when you import the member's data.
