There are four types of redirected searches that you can add:
(For example, you could redirect the author element on the full bib display to display the author in an alphabetical browse list of authors.)
However, you could also use this type of redirected search to let users indirectly search on indexes that they might not normally search on or that your library does not let them search on.
(For example, you could redirect a publisher element on the full bib display to display the publisher in a browse list of publishers, or you could redirect a music number on a full bib display to display the music number in a browse list of music numbers.)
(For example, you could redirect the author element on the full bib display to display the author in a summary list of titles about the author.)
• | Summary to Full Display. For this type of redirected search, users click on the element in the display that you choose, and Information Portal displays the full display. |
(For example, you could redirect an image element for book covers that Information Portal displays on a summary list display, which when clicked, displays the full bib page for the book’s title.)
• | URL/856 Tag. For this type of redirected search, users click on the element in the display that you choose, then Information Portal finds the URL in the 856 tag on the Z39.50 library’s server, and displays the corresponding web page. |
(For example, you could redirect the title on the full bib display to display the web page for the URL in its 856 tag.)
This uses the information from the 856 tag on the Z39.50 library’s server, as long as the Z39.50 library has its 856 tag set up correctly for its library system.
Which type of redirected search you choose depends on what type of results you want Information Portal to display.
