Abstract

Passportt for Windows (PFW) is not limited to accessing OCLC’s systems. It can also access a local Libs+ system through the internet. Such a connection makes it possible to use the automation capabilities of the OCLC Macro Language (OML), which is built into PFW, for the local Libs+ system. Once certain setup requirements have been completed, PFW can be used to accomplish quickly many routine tasks and thereby increase productivity and decrease error rates. Because it can be used to automate many local tasks, PFW remains an important tool for librarians.
