Setting Up Commonly Used Non-MARC Field Groups

After you create bib-based and authority-based non-MARC elements, you use the elements to set up non-MARC field groups. This section gives examples of how to set up these commonly used non-MARC field groups:

Author
Title
Publication information (place, date, and publisher)

The result of this task is a list of non-MARC field groups from which catalogers can choose when they want to add a field to a non-MARC record:

For general instructions on setting up a non-MARC field group, see Setting Up a Non-MARC Field Group.

After you set up non-MARC field groups, you must also create non-MARC authority workforms and attach the authority workforms to the bib elements before you can create non-MARC workforms to use in the MARC Editor. (For more information on the workflow of this task, see the non-MARC cataloging workflow description on See "These instructions describe the workflow necessary to set up non-MARC cataloging (you must do all the steps in the order shown):".)

To set up commonly used non-MARC field groups

1 Determine the groups that you want catalogers to be able to add to records.
2 Determine the fields for each group.

For example, you could include these fields and these groups:

Group

Field

Authors

Author’s Name

Title

Title

Publication

Publication place, publisher, and date

3 Determine which MARC bib tag or subfield each field corresponds to:

Field

Tag

Author

100

Title

245

Pub. Place

260a

Publisher

260b

Pub. Date

260c

4 Use this table to set up the non_marc_element view for each field (make sure you set up both bib-based and authority-based non-MARC elements):

Non_MARC Field

View Setup


Author field in an authority record


Author field in a bib record


Title field in a bib record


Publication place in a bib record


Publisher in a bib record


Publication date in a bib record

5 Use this table to set up the non_marc_field group view for each field (make sure you set up both bib-based and authority-based non-MARC elements):

Non-MARC Field Group

View Setup


Author group


Title group


Publication information group

You can now use these non-MARC groups to create non-MARC workforms.
