Copying an Events Calendar Record

If you have an Events Calendar record that is very similar to one that you want to create, you can copy the existing record and update some of the fields. Copying a record saves you time and reduces the chance of error.

To copy an Events Calendar record

1 Start a New Search.

To do this, press F2 or find the process in the Searching folder on the navigation bar.

2 Search for the Events Calendar record that you want. (For instructions, see Viewing an Events Calendar Record or the “Searching” chapter of the Horizon Basics Guide.)
3 Proceed with the search until Horizon displays either a Titles List window or the Bib Detail window.
4 Do one of these options:
If Horizon displays a Bib Detail window, continue with step 5.
If Horizon displays a Titles List window, choose the event that you want to copy.

To copy more than one event at a time, press ALT and click on each event that you want to copy. If you choose more than one event from a Titles List window, Horizon sends all the records that you select to Cataloging.

5 Press F10 or choose Edit, Send to.

Horizon opens the Send To dialog box.

6 Double-click the process to which you want to send the record.
7 Choose File, Copy Record.

Horizon displays both the original bib record and the newly created copy, and displays “-new-” in the copy’s title bar.

Note: The duplicate bib record does not yet have a record number assigned to it. When you make changes to the record and save those changes, Horizon assigns a number to the new bib record.

8 Update any fields requiring different information. (For more information, see “Editing a Field in a MARC Record” in the “MARC Editing” chapter of the Cataloging Guide.)
9 Save your changes.
