Using Bib Quick Search

When you add records to your catalog either manually or automatically (by importing), Horizon assigns each record a sequential number. (Horizon posts this number in the upper-left corner of the bib record.) If you know this bib number, you can use it to open the record using Bib Quick Search. You can also use Bib Quick Search to search for a bib record by using the item barcode.

Your system administrator can set up Bib Quick Search to find bib records by using other indexes whose search resolves to a single result. (For example, Bib Quick Search could search for the ISBN or LCCN.) (For instructions, see “Adding a Search to Bib Quick Search” in the Cataloging Setup Guide.)

To use Bib Quick Search

1 Start the Bib Quick Search process.

The default location of this process is the Cataloging\Bibliographic Record folder on the navigation bar.

Horizon opens the Search Bib Quick Search window.

2 Highlight the index that you want to search in the Indexes box.
3 Enter the number for the item in the Search for field.
4 Click OK.

Horizon opens the record in the MARC Editor.
