Understanding Linking MARC Maps

Horizon uses Linking MARC maps to control linking of bibliographic records during import. When staff imports bib records, Horizon uses a Linking MARC map along with other parameters as defined in the Cataloging Import Source to determine what tags and subfields to use as match points. This process determines if your library already has an existing title in the database. (For more information on assigning a MARC map to an import source, see the “Setting Up Link Match Points” section in the “Setting Up Import Source Parameters” section of the Cataloging Setup Guide.)
