If there is no matching record in the PINES database for your title, you will need to import a record into the PINES database from OCLC’s WorldCat database, the sole source of bibliographic records for PINES. Access to WorldCat is via the Z39.50 gateway in Evergreen. Using this resource, you can search WorldCat and import MARC records into PINES.

Access to the Z39.50 gateway is under the Cataloging menu:

And the home page:

Since you are searching OCLC, you will need to use the authorization and password assigned to your library by OCLC. Under Service and Credentials, check the box for OCLC and input the authorization number as Username and enter the password. Click on Save as Default to retain the login information for subsequent sessions.

After you have saved your OCLC authorization/username and password, you will not need to input it again unless you clear cookies in your browser. Keep in mind that the input wells for the authorization and password can be accidentally edited. If you get a network server error when you search, check your login to see if it is correct.

Searches are input into specific search wells for Author, ISBN, ISSN, LCCN, Publication Date, Publisher, Title, (OCLC) Title Control Number, and/or UPC (024 (other standard identifier) or 028 (Publisher or Distributor Number)). You can combine search terms (author/title, title/publisher, etc).

You can also filter searches by Item Type:

Raw searches are no longer necessary since the 024 and 028 fields can be searched in the UPC search box.

If you use one of the search indexes more often than others, you can set it as your default search so that your cursor is in that well when the interface is opened. Set your default search by clicking the circle under Query Default. You can change the default at any time.
