RLG migrating libraries that requested institution records are now authorized to create and maintain their institution records online using the Connexion browser, OCLC Web-based cataloging interface. If you have any problems with your authorization, please contact BCR.
As noted last week, the institution record indexes, including the new ir: index, are not currently operational, but are expected to be available mid-June. Connexion client institution record support will be available with version 2.00, scheduled for late June.
