RE: Importing records from Millenium in Connexion

["Zhou, Don" <dzhou at wmitchell dot edu>]

Michaela:

Have you noticed that if you export records from CatME and import them
into Connexion, and after that, you export the records into your
innovative server, that even when you are offline in Connexion, you can
still export? It looks like that it bypasses OCLC and exports directly
into innovative server. It happened to me and I am wondering if you had
the same experience. 

If that is the case, it makes sense that you export records from
Millennium into Connexion, edit those records and then "export" back
into Millennium. It seems convoluted, but it opens up opportunities for
other schemes of loading records into the Innovative system.

Just wanted to let you know that it doesn't have to be complicated:
We have no problems exporting records from CatME into Connexion. We 
export in CatME to <file>, and then import them from Connexion. All OCLC

numbers are retained. We don't have the ocm  prefix.

Just out of curiosity: why do you export OCLC records from Millennium 
into Connexion?

Good luck! -- Michaela
