Creating a List of the Tags that You Want

Before you can update a Community Resources workform with the tags that you want to include, you should research what tags are available and create a list of the ones that are most useful for your library. After you create the list, you need to create MARC maps for the tags that are not mapped and check that the map is listed in the views that you want to display it. (For more information, see Creating a Display MARC Map for a Tag that Is not Mapped and Checking that a MARC Map Displays in a Full Bib Display.)

To create a list of the tags that you want

1 Review the default tags in MARC Maps and create a list of the default tags that you want to keep on each Community Resources record and the tags that you do not want on each record.
2 Access the Community Information MARC 21 Concise Format manual, or access the Library of Congress web site that contains this information.

The URL for the Community Information MARC 21 Concise Format web site on the Library of Congress web page is http://www.loc.gov/marc/community.

3 Use the manual or web site to create a list of other (non-default) tags that you want to add to each Community Resources record.
4 Check that the tags you want are mapped. (For a list of the default tags that are mapped, see MARC Maps.)
5 Do one of these options:
If any of the tags that you want on each Community Resources record are not mapped, then continue with the task Creating a Display MARC Map for a Tag that Is not Mapped.
If all of the tags that you want on each Community Resources record are already mapped, then continue with the task Checking that a MARC Map Displays in a Full Bib Display.
