Logging into MarcSetGo

There are two user names and passwords for MarcSetGo. There is an administrator account, and a user account. The user name and password for the administrator account is:

After logging into the MarcSetGo, click on Tools | Options. We will need to configure the program before using it.

The first set of options is for setting up the printing of spine labels. This is a special pre-configured label sold by TLC. It will print out a spine label and reference label. See Christie for more details.

The next option is for Library System Settings. This shows your branch and the collection information for each branch. There are no user configurable options on this screen.

Build Holdings will be addressed in the context of entering items beginning on page 8 of this document. Please configure all of the other categories before configuring Build Holdings.

The next option to configure is for the Z39.50 Profile editor. The datasets shown are the default set that load with MarcSetGo. The user ID and Password you will need to use is:

920253 / 60608

Our Z39.50 databases do not require a Group ID.

Do not enter any data for the ‘Strip Holdings Field’ option.

The next option is for managing users. You can create users and change passwords from this screen. Do not make any changes on this screen.

To set the printer to use for spine labels, click File à Set Printer and select your printer from the list.

To begin to use MarcSetGo, click on the Magnifying glass.

Select your location and the collection that you are scanning. Scan the ISBN number from the back of the book. It will look in your local database first. If it does not find it there, it will search the Z39.50 databases for the item. Once the item is found, it will be displayed. Your classification number will be displayed based on your configurations. The cutter should autofill from the MARC record. If it doesn’t, you will need to enter that information, along with scanning the barcode into the system before the record will save. If the pre-populated classification and cutter information does not match your spine label, change the information to reflect what is on your spine label. By clicking on the right arrow, you also have the option of entering the LCCN number instead of the ISBN number. If you want to print a spine label for this book check the ‘Print Spine Label’ box. Click ‘Save’ to enter the item into the database.

To print a spine label for an item, check the “Print Spine Label” box prior to saving.
