  1. ExportQ A program written by the Yale Library Systems Office for use with the Voyager cataloging client… New England Voyager Users Group, 4 June 2003

  2. Why We Needed It • Voyager has only one export box • ExportQ allows catalogers to flag bib records for export to multiple destinations • ExportQ warns staff when bib records are out for authorities processing and must not be edited

  3. Opens/Closes With Voyager • Single icon opens both ExportQ and Voyager Cataloging • Automatically shuts down when close Voyager Cataloging • Options to use Voyager without ExportQ

  4. ExportQ Window • Can put on top of Voyager window • Can move around screen • Can minimize • Always available in task bar

  5. Window Features • Displays bib ID of active record • Can export to RLIN, OCLC, MARS • Can view session export history • Can copy/paste bib IDs

  6. Exporting/Extracting • ExportQ sends bib IDs (not actual records) to “export queues” • Three queues (RLIN, OCLC, MARS) • Systems Office uses these bib IDs to periodically do record extracts

  7. MARS Extracts • Weekly MARS extracts generate “do not edit” warning messages • Warning messages remain until records return from MARS

  8. Cataloging Workflow • Catalogers must check ExportQ window before editing a bib record • If ignore warning message, changes will be overlaid • Editing MFHD and item records OK

  9. Implementation Issues • Exporting policies (which records get exported?) • Staff training • Documentation • Extract and load schedules

  10. Desired Enhancements • Customizable default export destinations • Automatic maximizing of ExportQ window when warning message displays
