[Wactclc-alma] Connexion Client

[Guidry, Wade]

Louise,

You may have already seen this feature comparison of different Connexion clients:

https://www.oclc.org/en/connexion/chart.html

I think one main benefit of the Windows client over the browser that some people make use of is Connexion macros, to automate some repetitive editing tasks. That may be more useful for people who do lots and lots and lots of cataloging.

And yes, if you have access to Connexion browser, you should also be able to use Connexion Windows. You can download it here:

Also, I am cross-posting my response to wactclc-alma, as I think we could get some valuable thoughts from people like Kirsti, Paula, George, et al (no pressure folks :) )

Hi all,

We use the Connexion web browser for cataloging and adding/deleting holdings, but I've also heard about Connexion Client. Is there any added benefit to using Connexion Client? Is there an additional cost?

Thanks!
