This integrated citation database is searched via the standard Voyager interface and indexes so makes life easier for the user. Integration also allows Voyager to show whether the journal and issue for a retrieved article citation are held in the library. Voyager also allows you to access any Z39.50 or Silver platter ERL server so you could get virtually any source catalogue or database to report back with a local holdings status. Access management features allow the systems librarian to control access to meet commercial licensing arrangements. The use of MDI Multiple Document Interface allows the cataloguer to open several records at once to make record comparison and editing easier.
Authority control includes thesaurus type controls for narrower , related and use for relations.
Global edit features include batch as well as individual record changes at both field and subfield levels so that a geographic subfield for say, Bombay could be changed to Mumbai throughout the authority file. The acquisitions and funds control seems to be well designed with attention to the practical details of multiple fund allocation for a single order, hierarchical fund maintenance etc. Obviously the practicality of use for this level of technology is dependent on the support by suppliers, but it is good to see a system vendor ahead of the game investing early in the international standard rather than having to be bullied into compliance. Thus the library can develop or maintain any existing local customisation of correspondence when they transfer to Voyager, via familiar local desktop tools. There is a Course Reserve material management function.
