Edit MARC Field Usage Window

Module

Mark the button to which the MARC usage definition applies.

(For example, if you are defining fast-add records for Acquisitions, mark ACQ.)

Column Name

Enter the column on the bib table from which the information is retrieved.

(For example, if you wanted to add the ISSN number, enter “issn” as the column from which the ISSN number is retrieved or placed.) For a list of all columns in the bib view, see the Table Structures Guide.

Usage

Mark the button that specifies how the data is used in the bib record.

If you choose Other, be sure to label the field.

Label

Enter the label that displays on the record for the field.

(For example, if you are setting up MARC usage for title information on purchase orders in Acquisitions, enter “Title”.)

MARC map (indexed)

You complete this field in these situations:

If you want borrowers to be able to search in PAC for the type of fast-added items you are designing.
If you want to be able to carry over this bib field when you are sending information from these records: from a bib record to a purchase request, from a bib record to a purchase order, or from a purchase request to a purchase order.

Enter or choose a MARC map to link to the field for searching on in PAC.

MARC map (not indexed)

If you do not want borrowers to be able to search in PAC for the type of fast-added items you are designing, enter a MARC map that links to the field but does not allow searching on in PAC.
