2. Is the Music Toolkit for you?
Do you catalog any scores or sound recordings? (Ever?) Copy and/or original?
YES
Are you authorized to replace records in OCLC Connexion?
No? You can still enhance a record for exporting to your local catalog
Yes? Then you can help the community achieve full implementation of faceted vocabularies, while also enhancing records in your own catalog!

3. Step 1: Install
Gary’s install page:
Already installed? Check here for updates!

4. Step 1: Install

(This step is optional for the time-strapped)

6. Step 3: Use and enjoy Upgrade records you use for copy cataloging
And save time while creating original records
Key in LCSH fields
Run Music Toolkit (one click/keystroke; no dialog boxes)
Faceted fields generated in seconds!
Alternative to constant data and/or hand keying of faceted fields
Some situations require editing and manually enhancing faceted data
The Music Toolkit does not control headings, nor validate nor replace records for you
You are responsible for following LC guidelines and MLA best practices
