Logon to Voyager Cataloging (see Programs on Start menu) with Operator id view and Password only.

Click on Options on menu bar, then Preferences.
Note arrangement of desktop: menu bar and toolbar.
The buttons most used in "view only" are Search, Get Holdings, and Hierarchy.
Put the cursor over a button on the toolbar to get a description of its function
F1 provides context-sensitive help. Note the help menu too.
Examples to illustrate uses of "view only":
Search title Da Vinci code.
Select the 2004 record from the list. Look at the bibliographic record
Each record has its type and number at the top.
Click on Get Hldgs, then on Get Items.
Click on Hierarchy to see the relationship among the records. This is a simple, straightforward hierarchy (like most titles in the UIUC Library).
Compare it to the record in the Voyager online catalog. (Full view, then MARC view).
Search title Scandinavian Studies. Select the first record.
The result is a record for a serial. Click on Get Hldgs and see how the holdings record differ from the previous example. Serials often have multiple holdings records if the unbound issues are in one location and the bound volumes in another. Each volume has a line in the holdings (863).
Click on Hierarchy and then on the + sign in front of the second holdings line.
3. Search title Devil in the White City.
There are two copies in different locations.
The last handout shows how many holdings records (MFHDs) are needed for various situations.
Search for 4550216 as a bibliographic, holdings, and item record. This search is on the Record menu as Retrieve by record id. Are the results related?
Search call number I19.16:1453 then call number 528.6Sn92a
Note the different call number systems and locations. The bibliographic description is the same, so both holdings records are linked to it. Each call number also has prefix. Both are copy 1.
Search ISBN 022668215
Often the most specific search and useful for pre-order searching.
Search for title Wetlands of the American Midwest
The holdings show two different call numbers, both Dewey.
First see the Natural History Survey copy-this is classified for the individual volume.
Next see the Map and Geography copy. This is an example of a series classified together which also has records for individual volumes (v. 241 in this case).
Search for Bib record number 1029775 9 (National Geographic).
Look at the hierarchy. (It may take a while to retrieve it.)
Multiple records for Stacks and Undergrad locations.
