3 Document last updated: 16 August 2013 September 2013 (scheduled for September 19) August 2013 (scheduled for August 22) Enhanced Feature: Improvement to display of chronology ranges for serials using LHR data We have improved the display of chronology range for serial titles for libraries using LHR data for serials. Post-install: Enhanced Feature: Expanded knowledge base query to retrieve encyclopedia articles We improved the call to the OCLC knowledge base to check for the ISBN in the 799/z. This field is used for both chapters and encyclopedia entries and we will now display View Now links for those items. Post-install: 3

4 Enhanced Feature: Update to genre in OpenURL links We are identifying genre=dissertation in OpenURL resolver links based on an updated rule set. This change will improve linking to online dissertation resources. New section for important updates to other services that impact WorldCat Local This is a new section in our release notes where we will highlight changes to other services that directly impact WorldCat Local. OCLC Knowledgebase On August 18, the OCLC Knowledgebase will implement a title matching change for short titles. This is an effort to reduce the number of incorrect exact title matches between WorldCat records and knowledge base links in the WorldCat Local discovery interface. The matching process is for items with short or oneword titles. Now, when an identifier (ISSN, ISBN, or OCLC number) match is not found, only titles with more than three words will go through an exact title match. This will display fewer mis-matches and will result in a better user experience. New content added to WorldCat Local This is another new section in our release notes where we will highlight new content added to WorldCat Local since the last release. We post these announcements separately but will include the highlights here: As announced on August 13 via the list serv, 49 new databases have been added to the WorldCat Local central index. Please see the announcement or WorldCat Local User Support Center for complete message. You can enable these databases as search options in the Licensed Content and Databases module of the OCLC Service Configuration site. Please remember that your library must have a valid subscription to these databases in order to enable them. Please find below and in the attached document the database names, providers, and database ids for reference. Documentation of the complete list of databases and their IDs is available at American Economic Association Journals from American Economic Association: Individual collections from Adam Matthew Digital: China: Culture and Society Confidential Print: Africa,

5 Confidential Print: Latin America, Confidential Print: Middle East, Confidential Print: North America, Eighteenth Century Journals I Eighteenth Century Journals II Eighteenth Century Journals III Eighteenth Century Journals IV Eighteenth Century Journals V Foreign Office Files for China, Foreign Office Files for China, Foreign Office Files for China, Foreign Office Files for China, Foreign Office Files for India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, Foreign Office Files for India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, Foreign Office Files for India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, The Nixon Years Travel Writing, Spectacle, and World History July 2013 (scheduled for July 25)- Deferred to August 22 install Enhanced Feature: Adding ebooks held at level 1 to the Full Text checkbox In response to many requests, we are expanding the current Full text articles option under Available online to include ebooks. The additional criteria will be 1. ebooks in the WorldCat knowledgebase OR 2. ebooks in WorldCat with the library s holding attached The label is being changed from Full text articles to Full text. Current: 5

6 After install: Once the limiter is selected, the Article and ebook format facets will be Current: After install: 6

7 Also, you will want to consider turning on the display of Other Electronic Content, on the Brief Results list, under Full Text and Open Access Links in the OCLC Service Configuration Module, to see the View Now links for ebooks. Enhanced Feature: Remove limit to full text checkbox from persistent search box and advanced search In an effort to streamline the interface, and to ensure your users are getting all relevant results, the limit to full text articles checkbox has been removed from the persistent search box and advanced search. This option to limit, with the enhancement of adding ebooks, is under the Available Online section. The benefit to the user is by limiting post-search they may see other items relevant to their needs, along with the delivery options provided by your library. Current: 7

8 After install: Enhanced Feature: Display changes for handling records from databases displaying 'fake' OCLC number in record In response to reports from library staff that the detailed record display showing OCLC Number for non-worldcat items is confusing, we have updated the display. We changed the label to Unique Identifier. Current: After install: Bug Fix - Display Public Note (852$z) from LHRs in Availability Notes Notes added to the 852$z were not displaying on the detailed record as expected. This fix is to display those notes in the Notes column under Item Availability. 8

9 Current: After install: Bug Fix Knowledgebase links displaying incorrect link text Corrected issue that was causing some KB links to display a URL instead of appropriate link text on the detailed record. Current: 9

10 After install: June 2013 (completed June 18) Enhanced Feature: Now support export of non-latin characters from mapped 880 fields. (Note: This was the functionality that was removed from the May install.) The 880 field must be mapped in the subfield 6 of the source field, such as the 245, in order to be included in this export. Enhanced Feature: New interface language Czech WCLocal, and worldcat.org, interfaces now offer Czech language option. 10

11 May 2013 (scheduled for May 16 completed May 28) Enhanced Feature: Relevancy update. Libraries now have the ability to switch to an alternative Relevancy algorithm (Relevancy 2) via OCLC Service Configuration, the Relevancy & Scoping module. The alternative relevancy deemphasizes library holdings in the result set which helps to elevate more relevant items based on the search term matching. As mentioned in the WorldCat Local User Group Meeting, we are continuing to evaluate this optional relevancy and will likely make other updates. We will announce any updates here. In the meantime, you can try it in your sandbox. Enhanced Feature: Support for IE10. WorldCat Local functionality, such as item availability and view now links, is now supported in IE10. Enhanced Feature: Expanded display of added class number to include 695 $b. Enhanced Feature coming soon: Using WorldCat knowledge base coverage to determine article holdings The WorldCat Local team is working on an enhanced feature that will allow libraries to choose to use their knowledge base coverage to determine their article level holdings. While this feature is not yet ready, the Service Configuration component will be available in the WorldCat knowledge base, Library Holdings module. We will announce via an update in these release notes when the enhanced feature is available. At that time, library s can chose to set this option. 11
