Setting
Preferences Quick Tip
What are preferences and how do I set them? |
My preference view - You
can select which resources you use most often in Cataloger's
Desktop. These frequently used resources can be set as your personal
preference view when you log into the system. When you log
on for the first time and unless you change your preferences, the
default full site view shows over 250 resources, many of which
you may never use. When you search you may retrieve many more hits
than you need. Setting your preferences also allows you to save bookmarks and annotations.
In this Quick Tip, designed
and developed by Library Services' Cooperative and Instructional Programs
Division for the Cataloging Distribution Service, you will learn
how to set your personal preference view in 3-4 minutes. You may
leave the tutorial at any time and return to Cataloger's Desktop by
clicking on the Cataloger's Desktop banner at the
top of your screen.
We will select the Descriptive
Cataloging Manual, Anglo-American
Cataloguing Rules, and Library of Congress Rule
Interpretations in this scenario.
After you log on, select either the
Preferences tab or the My preferences hyperlink.
