Benefits and features OCLC WebDewey features Select the Next page button to continue.

7 2. Introduction to WebDewey records Schedule record A Dewey number, accompanied by its caption, displays at the top of each WebDewey schedule record. A segmented number contains a slash that marks the end of the abridged number. The hierarchy displays the number and the broader class numbers that contain it as well as the first level of narrower classes subordinate to it. All captions in the hierarchy display are linked to the corresponding WebDewey records. Select the Next page button to continue. 1/10 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

8 2. Introduction to WebDewey records Schedule record Notes describe what is found in the current class and its relationship to other classes. Notes may also provide number-building instructions, citation and preference order instructions, and references to the Manual. Select the Next page button to continue. 2/10 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

9 2. Introduction to WebDewey records Manual record A Manual entry gives advice on classifying in difficult areas, provides in-depth information on the schedules, and explains Dewey practices. Dewey numbers and Manual entries mentioned in WebDewey Manual entries are linked to the corresponding WebDewey records. Select the Next page button to continue. 3/10 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

10 2. Introduction to WebDewey records Table record The tables provide a means of representing complex subjects in minute detail. They are never used alone, but are required at times to specify aspects of a subject. All captions in the table hierarchy display are linked to the corresponding WebDewey table records. Select the Next page button to continue. 4/10 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

11 2. Introduction to WebDewey records Associated terms Each WebDewey record lists the Relative Index terms associated with the Dewey number or Manual entry that is the subject of the WebDewey record being displayed. These terms can be a source of additional terminology related to the subject being examined. Most WebDewey records have Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) associated with them. The headings are linked to the corresponding LC subject authority record. Select EM, PPT, or SM to continue. 5/10 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

12 2. Introduction to WebDewey records Associated terms – DDC 22 The enhanced DDC database contains data from the DDC 22 database and additional terms that have been associated with DDC numbers in the database. These terms are Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) extracted from a variety of sources and associated either intellectually or statistically with the DDC. 6/10 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial Dewey editorial staff members have intellectually linked terms designated EM to the DDC, and have revised these mappings to fit DDC 22. In 610 Medicine and health, a few headings designated EM will be Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) rather than LCSH; these headings can be identified because no part of the heading is linked to an authority record. Terms with the designation PPT have been either intellectually associated with the DDC, or statistically associated and then reviewed by Dewey editorial staff. PPT mappings in the areas of computer science, religion, and law have been updated to match DDC 22 numbers. All other PPT mappings reflect DDC 21, and have not yet been revised to fit DDC 22. The remaining terms, identified with the abbreviation SM, have been automatically linked to the DDC using statistical techniques. This measure was applied to WorldCat records that contain MARC 082 (Dewey Decimal Classification number) and a subject heading field, MARC tags 600-651. Select the Next page button to continue.

13 2. Introduction to WebDewey records Associated terms Abridged WebDewey contains Dewey numbers mapped to LCSH, Subject Headings for Children, and the new 18th edition of Sears Subject Headings. Select EM, SHC, or SSH to continue. 7/10 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

14 2. Introduction to WebDewey records Associated terms – Abridged Edition 14 The enhanced DDC database contains data from the Abridged Edition 14 database and additional terms that have been associated with abridged DDC numbers in the database. These terms are Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) and Sears Subject Headings. 8/10 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial Dewey editorial staff members have intellectually linked terms with the EM designation to the abridged DDC numbers in the database, and have revised these mappings to fit Abridged Edition 14. In 610 Medicine and health, a few headings designated EM will be Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) rather than LCSH; these headings can be identified because no part of the heading is linked to an authority record. Terms with the SHC designation were extracted from the WorldCat database by processing LC MARC records with headings used in the LC Annotated Card Program (AC)/Subject Headings for Children's Literature and then reviewed by Dewey editorial staff. The SHC mappings reflect Abridged Edition 13, and have not yet been revised to fit Abridged Edition 14. The Sears Subject Headings (SSH), from Sears edition 18, were associated with DDC numbers from Abridged Edition 14 by the H. W. Wilson Company. The Sears List of Subject Headings is copyrighted (2000-2004) by H. W. Wilson Company. Abridged WebDewey abbreviation Source of termAssociation methodRevised for Abridged Edition 14?

15 2. Introduction to WebDewey records Built number record A built number is constructed according to "add" instructions stated or implied in the schedules and tables. In WebDewey, the first Relative Index term in alphabetical order serves as the caption for a built number. Select the Next page button to continue. 9/10 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

16 2. Introduction to WebDewey records Built table number A built table number is constructed according to add instructions stated or implied in the schedules or tables to represent a specific subdivision of a DDC table. In WebDewey, the first Relative Index term in alphabetical order serves as the caption for a built table number. When more than one Relative Index entry is associated with a built number, an ellipsis (...) at the end of the first Relative Index entry is your visual cue that the number has more than one Relative Index entry. Select the Next page button to continue. 10/10 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

17 3. Logon Local browser settings This is the logon screen located at http://connexion.oclc.org. You enter your OCLC authorization and password here or select Local Browser Settings. Local Browser Settings allow you to save up to 10 authorizations and/or passwords, with one designated as the default. The default will be provided for you the next time you log on to Connexion from your workstation. You can change the default logon here. For further information on Local Browser Settings, please see Connexion Help. http://connexion.oclc.org Authorized Dewey Services users may also designate their authorizations as Dewey-Only. Select the Next page button to continue. 1/5 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

18 3. Logon Dewey-only session The logon screen contains an area of Related Links that you may find helpful before you log on. The Dewey-Only Session under Related Links toggles the logon button and allows you to choose between a Dewey-Only session and a Cataloging session. You will see the Logon button change depending on which type of session you specify at logon. Select the Dewey-Only Session link. 2/5 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

19 3. Logon Dewey-only sessions Dewey-Only sessions provide access to WebDewey and/or Abridged WebDewey. There is a default inactivity timeout of 120 minutes, which is three times longer than the default inactivity timeout for other Connexion sessions. Select the Next page button to continue. 3/5 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

20 3. Logon Welcome page This is the OCLC Connexion Welcome page. It is the page you will see after you enter your OCLC authorization and password. Please note: In this tutorial, we have not selected a Dewey-Only session. This page provides you with links to many excellent OCLC and WebDewey resources. For example, "OCLC WebDewey Information" links to the WebDewey quarterly enhancements page. You can return to the Connexion Welcome page at any time by Selecting the Home link. Select the Next page button to continue. 4/5 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

21 3. Logon Tabs, buttons, and lists OCLC Connexion uses a tab, button, and list screen design. Tabs allow you to move around in the services and provide options for cataloging tasks. As you select a service tab (for example, Cataloging, Authorities, Dewey Services) you go to the default search screen for that tab. The related buttons (sub-categories of options) and list options change accordingly. Your authorization determines which tabs appear in the navigation bar. If you had selected a Dewey-Only session, only the Dewey Services and General tabs would appear. Select the Dewey Services tab. 5/5 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial Keystroke shortcut: Press Alt+D to access the Dewey Services tab.

22 4. Searching WebDewey search screen To find records, you either search for them or browse the indexes to find them. Quick Tips are available within WebDewey to assist you. We will look at searching first. Searching is useful when: You have a unique term that is likely to yield a small number of hits You are looking for something that will be mentioned only in a note, Manual note, or table You are looking for a specific Dewey number or for a combination of topics. Notice the 2 links at bottom of the screen. You can drill down through the hierarchy by linking to the Main Classes or Tables. Select the Next page button to continue. 1/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

23 4. Searching Eight search indexes There are eight (8) WebDewey search indexes, as shown in the drop-down box. The Search for box is where you type your search term(s). You can use multiple terms to search any index. Note: Abridged WebDewey offers access to all of the indexes listed here, plus an index that contains DDC numbers mapped to Sears Subject Headings. Select the Next page button to continue. 2/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial Keystroke shortcut: Press Alt+1 to access the WebDewey Search screen.

24 4. Searching Search history button The Search History button allows you to view and use your last 10 searches entered through this screen. The Search History is not cleared when you log off. Previous search queries are associated with your authorization number and are retained between Connexion sessions. NOTE: Separate search histories exist for the following: Quick Search/Quick Browse area Search WebDewey screen Browse WebDewey screen Search WebDewey User Notes screen.

To avoid retyping information each time you log on, use Local Browser Settings to store your authorization and password on your workstation. 2. Select the links (e.g., Home) on the header bar to move around in Connexion. Use the Home page to link to, for example, News and system alerts. 3. Use the tabs (e.g., Dewey Services or Cataloging) to move between services. 4. There are eight (8) WebDewey search indexes. Search WebDewey to find a classification number appropriate for an item you are describing, and to identify additional subject terms to use as access points. 5. Use the search results display to see how the system interpreted your search and to refine your search to improve results. 9/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial Select the Next page button to continue.

31 5. Browsing Dewey Services tab To find records, you either search for them or browse the indexes to find them. Let's look at browsing. First, select the Dewey Services tab. 1/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

32 5. Browsing Browse button Notice at the bottom of the screen you can easily link to Main Classes or Tables, which allows you to drill down throughout the hierarchy. Now, select the Browse button. 2/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

33 5. Browsing WebDewey browse screen Browsing is different than searching. Except in the case of KWIC (Key Word in Context) indexes, which are explained later in this tutorial, browsing is like looking at an alphabetical or numerical index. The Dewey number or term you browse is matched, character by character, from left to right, against the numbers or terms in the index. Abridged WebDewey also lets you browse the Sears Subject Heading index. Select the Next page button to continue. 3/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

34 5. Browsing Why browse? Browsing is useful when: You are looking for built numbers and know the base number You are looking for the interdisciplinary number or main number for a topic The word you are searching is likely to generate too many hits You are unsure of the spelling of a term. Select the Next page button to continue. 4/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

35 5. Browsing Six browse indexes There are six (6) WebDewey indexes, as shown at the right. Dewey Numbers (with Captions) is the active index. We’ll show you how to browse for a Dewey number. We entered 338.476151 in the Browse for box and selected the radio button for the Dewey Numbers (with Captions) index. Now, you’ll select the Browse button. 5/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial 338.476151

36 5. Browsing Browse view This is the Browse view in the Dewey numbers (with Captions) index. Select the link Drugs (Pharmaceuticals) -- production economics,... associated to the number 338.476151. 6/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

37 5. Browsing Relevant add instructions The book you need to classify is about the pharmaceutical industry; 338.476151 looks like a good number for it, but you are unsure of how the number was built. To understand how the number (338.476151) was built, you decide to look for relevant add instructions by going up the hierarchy to 338.47001- 338.47999, Subdivisions for products and services. Select Subdivisions for products and services. 7/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

38 5. Browsing Notes button To see the entire Notes area, select the Notes button. 8/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

39 5. Browsing Notes When you examine the notes for record 338.47001-338.47999 Subdivisions for products and services, you find the add instruction for how 338.476151 was built: 338.47 + 6151. You could decide to search or browse for 615.1 to see what it means, but for now, select the Browse button and we'll browse another WebDewey index. 9/9 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial

40 6. Browsing LCSH and LCSH (KWIC) Browsing LCSH Previously browsed queries are available when you select the Search History button on this Browse screen. The system displays the last 10 browse queries associated with your authorization. You can use the Search History to repeat or revise a previous query. For this exercise you will browse LCSH for the term 'mask'. To browse LCSH, we typed mask in the Browse for box and selected the radio button for LCSH index. Now, you’ll select the Browse button. 1/4 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial mask

41 6. Browsing LCSH and LCSH (KWIC) Browsing LCSH This is the result of your browse for 'mask' in LCSH. You browse LCSH for words and phrases by typing the first word (or several words). You browse the LCSH (KWIC) to see a word wherever it may occur in an LCSH. Note: Some LCSH are mapped to multiple DDC numbers, as shown here. Select the Browse button and we'll browse the LCSH (KWIC) index. 2/4 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial Multiple DDC numbers

42 6. Browsing LCSH and LCSH (KWIC) Browsing LCSH (KWIC) This time, Browse LCSH (KWIC) to see the difference in results. To browse LCSH (KWIC), we typed mask in the Browse for box and selected LCSH (KWIC) radio button. Now, you’ll select the Browse button located on the WebDewey Browse screen. 3/4 Using OCLC WebDewey: an OCLC tutorial mask
