WHAT WE DID  Four Webinars held in the past two years Four Webinars Searching for CJK material in WorldCat using FirstSearch Using Macros in Connexion for CJK Materials: Basic Session Using Macros in Connexion for CJK Materials: Advanced Session Using Collection Analysis Tool for Managing CJK Collections  HKCAN portal: with MARC view option available in summer 2013  Other issues communicated with OCLC: Korean records loading, e.g. records from the National Library of Korea The follow-up of CALIS records: no update 4

WHAT WE DID  Other issues communicated with OCLC: Field 987 (Local Romanization/Conversion History) On 12/10/2013, OCLC was proposing to remove the remaining fields and invalidate the field for both online input and batchloading. The removal process is expected to start later this month (Dec. 2013). OCLC-CJK UG feedback--there are still bibliographic records with value "r" (as opposed to "c" or "n") under field 987-|d indicating necessity for manual review of Chinese romanization. Should they be retained to alert catalogers? There are at least some MRs in WC with: 987 __ PINYIN... |d r... OCLC response: Glenn Patton was still in discussions with some of his colleagues on how they might preserve this information. 5

WHAT WE DID  Connexion Client enhancement request: some examples Spell-checking function to authority records In the authority record, can the institutional symbol in 040 field show its full name when we lay mouse over it like it for the bibliographic record? Add warning function when authority 4XX in NAF normalizes the same as 1XX in another record in NAF Include our CJK Toolkit in the OCLC website or a link to Connexion client A global/batch update function for the local save files, such as batch delete, find, and/or replace a certain string across the records in the whole file with one single request, apply one macro to all records in the file at a time, etc. Undo function for unlimited steps as the one in Office Word Can OCLC create macros/drop-down lists for all controlled vocabularies/codes/terms, e.g. relationship designators, in the variable fields? A good model to follow is exactly like the existing fixed fields and 33x macros. Automated punctuation filling in ISBD 6

WHAT WE DID & WILL DO  Remaining issues: Accurate holding information for different editions of an item; Successful linking between WorldCat local and the OPAC of libraries that have holdings of the item being searched  Nomination committee: Shuyong, Hikaru and Xiuying  Bylaws committee: Shuyong, Jade and Hikaru  The bylaws was revised in 1993, so the revisions will be proposed, announced and voted after CEAL meeting.  Upcoming activities World Discovery Services will be released to replace FirstSearch in March. WorldShare Metadata Record Manager will be released to replace Connexion by later this year. 7
