The Metadata Extraction functionality allows users to create bibliographic records by extracting metadata from electronic resources. To save the time and effort of transcribing bibliographic data to create records for electronic resources, the client automatically extracts metadata and inserts the data into a workform to produce a preliminary record to edit and complete.

Anyone not familiar with the Metadata Extraction functionality may want to review the appropriate tutorial and/or try extracting data from a source file for a specific URL on the Web or from a locally stored file to see how this functionality can save time and effort in transcribing data. Files types supported are Web pages (*.html or *.htm file), Word documents (*.doc file), Adobe PDF documents (*.pdf file) and MP3 files (*.mp3).

• List Display — Selectors now can specify to display either 25 or 1,000 entries on each page while viewing lists of records.
• Record Rejection — Selectors now can automatically reject all records which currently have the library's holdings already set. Items that have already selected or exported by another use also now can automatically be removed.

EBSCO Text-only users should migrate to the EBSCOhost Web interface as soon as possible now that EBSCO has completed the Web interface enhancement which eliminates the need to use the Text-only feature. As part of the upgrade process, the personalized folder feature will be removed from the Text-only interface in just a few days. However, the Text-only interface (temporary) session folder will continue to be available for collecting Result List items, which can be printed, saved to disk or sent to email addresses, prior to ending an EBSCOhost session. Personalized folder (My EBSCOhost) functionality is available from EBSCOhost.

Please note: Items stored in personalized folders on EBSCO's Text-only interface will automatically be transferred to the EBSCOhost Web interface personalized folders (My EBSCOhost), in order to provide a seamless interface transition. To view your personalized folder, which was automatically transferred, simply access the EBSCOhost Web interface and then log in to your personalized folder account.

For our mobile and PDA customers who use EBSCO Text Only, EBSCOhost Mobile will be launched by the end of calendar year 2007. Text Only (without the personalized folder feature) will remain in place until EBSCOhost Mobile becomes available.

These enhancements include:

• Availability of two Australia-specific identifiers, the Australian National Union Catalog and the Australian Business Number
  Australian libraries can now modify two Australia-specific identifiers, the Australian National Union Catalog and the Australian Business Number. Both identifiers are unique numbers issued by Australian government offices. Nonauthorized users (i.e., users who do not modify Australian institution profiles) are able to view and search the new identifiers via the Advanced Search option. Note: OCLC will pre-populate the Australia identifiers at a later date with the data available from the National Library of Australia.
• Original Data Provided By Link Added
  While viewing the Profile Summary for an institution, a link is provided for all non-OCLC data sources for records originally batchloaded from those sources. For example, for institution data provided by the National Library of Australia, a link to its Web site is provided under the Profile Summary.
• New Data Sources Added
  The National Library of Australia, the National Library of New Zealand and the National Library of South Africa have agreed to add further information to specific profiles.

A summary of the recent initiatives can be found on the OCLC Web site at www5.oclc.org/downloads/design/abstracts/08062007/worldcatregistry.htm.

The WorldCat Registry provides a comprehensive, extensible and secure Web platform for managing and disseminating library institution data.
