In his sixth fable, bestselling author and business guru Patrick Lencioni, takes on a topic that almost everyone can relate to — the causes of a miserable job. Millions of workers, even those who have carefully chosen careers based on true passions and interests, dread going to work, suffering each day as they trudge to jobs that make them cynical, weary and frustrated. It is a simple fact of business life that any job, from investment banker to dishwasher, can become miserable.

Through the story of a CEO turned pizzeria manager, Lencioni reveals the three elements that make work miserable — irrelevance, immeasurability and anonymity — and gives managers and their employees the keys to make any job more fulfilling.

As with all of Lencioni's books, this one is filled with actionable advice you can put into effect immediately. In addition to the fable, the book includes a detailed model examining the three signs of job misery and how each can be remedied. It covers the benefits of managing for job fulfillment within organizations — increased productivity, greater retention and competitive advantage — and offers examples of how managers can use the applications in the book to deal with specific jobs and situations.

Following the successful Connexion installation of December 9, 2007, users of Connexion browser now can control genre headings tagged 655, second indicator zero (0).

The ability to control genre headings (tagged 655, second indicator 0) will be available in the 2.10 release of the Connexion client, tentatively scheduled for release in late December 2007.

There are some restrictions regarding the controlling of genre headings:

• If a heading is not tagged as a 655, second indicator 0, but the text were to match an established heading in a genre authority record (i.e., Buddy films), a multi-control window will open rather than automatically changing the tag and controlling the heading.
• Likewise, if a heading were tagged as a 655, second indicator 0, but the text were to match an established subject and/or name heading(s) represented by one or multiple authority records (i.e., Baskets $z Ohio), a multi-control window will open rather than automatically changing the tag and controlling the heading.
• Genre headings tagged as 655, second indicator 0 will be included in a 'Control All' command. If the tag/text of a correctly tagged genre heading matches an established genre authority record, the heading will be automatically controlled.

Please contact Linda Gonzalez (lgonzale@bcr.org) or Bethany Levrault (blevraul@bcr.org) with any questions.

The records generally lack added entries, subject headings and LC classification numbers. Also, the records frequently lack main and added entries for performers, although a 5XX field for performers is usually present.

Therefore, since searching in the name indexes will seldom retrieve these records, keyword searches for names will be more effective. Title searches will also often be a useful search strategy. The records will have Encoding Level (MARC leader 17) value 3 and a note that says Brief record.

OCLC processing will attempt to match these LC abbreviated-level records to records already input into WorldCat. If a match is found, some data from the LC record, such as LCCN, will be merged into the WorldCat record. The LC record will not replace the WorldCat record. Records that do not find a match will be added to WorldCat.

Because the records will have Encoding Level 3, OCLC member library cataloging staff with a full-level authorization number are able to modify and upgrade them, and OCLC encourages staff to do so. If the record is upgraded to a higher encoding level, be sure to delete the Brief record note. Should one of these records be upgraded to an Encoding Level K or I, a minimal-level upgrade credit will be received.

Please contact Linda Gonzalez (lgonzale@bcr.org) or Bethany Levrault (blevraul@bcr.org) with any questions.

Proposed practice would be to record the series statement in field 490, and if access to the series is to be provided, the added entry should be recorded in one of the series added entry fields in the 8XX grouping.

The Library of Congress and the Library and Archives Canada serve as the maintenance agency for the MARC 21 formats for bibliographic, authority, holdings, classification and community information data for MARC 21 users and will organize consideration of the proposed change in coding. Information of the maintenance and development of MARC is on the Library of Congress MARC Development Web site.

In two of the presentations, speakers from Gulf Coast Community College and the University of Louisville explain how they created a digital library for their libraries using CONTENTdm Digital Collection Management Software. Both presentations are very useful for anyone just starting to build their digital library. The third presentation is a short overview of CONTENTdm.

• Gulf Coast Community College's Memory Project
  Matt Burrell and his team at Gulf Coast Community College had virtually no archival/digitization experience, but with a little bit of education, a lot of hard work and the help of CONTENTdm, they produced an impressive collection to commemorate the college's 50th anniversary.

Connexion provides a scoped view, allowing the SCIPIO records to be searched as a separate database. The scoped view enables you to use new, SCIPIO-specific indexes in addition to the standard WorldCat indexes for finding SCIPIO records only. The new indexes were implemented to provide current SCIPIO users with familiar search methods.

All Connexion catalogers can retrieve SCIPIO records using standard WorldCat indexes or SCIPIO-specific indexes and can also select the option to search for SCIPIO records only.
