- Staff with Advanced-Level Access can use tools present in LS Tools to modify vendor records and bulk import the result into the Voyager database. They can extract existing Voyager records, correct existing errors, and then reload them into the Voyager database. They can also run various Library Systems scripted reports and extracts, as well as all the tools present for the basic level. Users at this level must have the ability to manipulate MARC data, i.e. the deletion and addition of fields, familiarity with software such as MARCEdit, Gary Strawn software, and Voyager-related usage of Microsoft Access.
- Batch Processing Staff and Unit Heads, at Expert-Level Access, have access to basic and advanced-level tasks, as well as to more complicated production procedures, Google Utilities, and reports. Members of this group must have an advanced knowledge of technical services workflows, for use in the development of new processes. The staff member must also be able to analyze large sets of data to identify problems and common elements that allow for batch correction. Staff in this group also examine new software for potential use in automation.
- Staff with Administrative-Level Access can use all the tools present in LS Tools. This includes direct exports to OCLC of Voyager MARC records and manual execution of all Library Systems “CRON” scripts when needed. Scripts at this level can have considerable library-wide impact.* Managers and senior Batch Processing staff assign jobs to appropriate group levels and give staff access to appropriate levels of batch jobs in LS Tools. Also in the space are scripted jobs of high consequence such as the automated cleanup of Voyager MARC data.
*NOTE: Some scripts are placed at this level while they are in the later development stage stages and then later moved can be moved after development is completed to a lower level so that the staff assigned to run it may access it once it is ready for production. Some scripts that are one-time, large scale projects are placed here for use by expert-level users, and removed once the project is complete.
- Selectors have access to the “Harvest Voyager Records” tool “Voyager Harvest” area for their own edification. They may or may not have access to other parts of LS Tools, depending upon their other work duties.
- Catalogers working with videos and microforms have access to the “CLAMSS Shelflist Tool.” They may or may not have access to other parts of LS Tools, depending upon their other work
duties.
