Cataloguing Permissions

Library Staff Cataloguing Permission Groups

Changing bibliographic records in the Sitka catalogue has the potential to affect all Sitka libraries.

To ensure cataloguing follows both cataloguing standards and Sitka cataloguing policy library directors and administrators should ensure that only approriately trained library staff have access to cataloguing functions and that their level of access matches their cataloguing comfort level. Any library staff member with access to cataloguing functions MUST review and be familiar with Sitka’s Cataloguing Policy.

Library Staff Cataloguing Permission Groups

There are four permission groups which give access to cataloguing functions. Local system administrator accounts can assign cataloguing permissions and they also have full cataloguing access.
