Writing macros and programs for Voyager cataloging

Abstract

Editing individual records in Voyager is easy and convenient, but repetitive processes can be slow and tedious without automation. Voyager’s built -in features such as Pick and Scan, and Global Data Change are great, especially when combined with external macro programs to drive the interface in a simple repetitive fashion, or with external programs directly querying Voyager’s Oracle database. In this presentation, I will describe some of these techniques and share my web site of open source code for extending Voyager.
