What does it do? (Jump to data Entry section to see how it works)

• Runs from CMPEDIT.EXE (or from the LCSuite.exe menu)
• Data Entry is where the Library staff will spend most of their working day during the initial data entry process
• This is the section of the package where resource information is entered...Cataloguing details, Book Subject Headings, Reading Scheme Details and Barcodes are typed into this database
• You can inload USMARC files from SCIS via Utilities / Inload/Outload / Inload USMARC then use the SCIS menu option in Data Entry to call up the records for editing
• There are several shortcut functions built into the Data Entry module, make sure you take the time to become aware of them... they are there to save you time. (You will have a lot of difficulty convincing us that you are too busy to save time!)
• Training, training, training, training, training, training, training...
• Training saves you time which is money
• We have written this manual and produced lots of other tools (including onscreen tutorials) to help teach you the efficient use of this software
• You need to use them to benefit
• We also offer remote one-on-one training which has always been praisied by those who have bothered to find out about it and actually book a session!
