Extra tip: When you update your details in VDX, remember to update them on the Directory of New Zealand Libraries at the same time http://directory.natlib.govt.nz/

OCLC has an easy, semi-automated system for enabling deeplinking from WorldCat directly into your local opac. As part of the New Zealand libraries site license for OCLC services every Te Puna subscribing library is eligible for such linking.

Go to the OCLC website set this up for your library

The default holdings display in VDX search results shows National Library holdings first, then your own holdings (if applicable), then other holdings in chronological order, according to when they were added to the database.

If you would like to have reciprocal libraries at the top of your results list, contact Te Puna Support with an ordered list of you reciprocal libraries and we’ll arrange this for you. An easy way to do this would be to place your preferred listing in the comments box available on the same screen.
