Many libraries, especially library consortia, multibranch libraries, and those who use union catalogs, need to manage access rights to data. Record ownership lets libraries define who can access particular information in their database. Libraries set their own policies on how to use record ownership designation.
You can designate an owner for each MARC record in your database. (For more information, see “Securing Horizon” in the “Security and Preferences” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)
If records imported into Horizon contain owner identification, Horizon retains this information.
To designate record ownership for MARC records
1 | Open the control record of the bib or authority record for which you want to change the status. (For instructions, see Opening a Control Record.) |
2 | Enter an owner in the Owned by field. Use the drop‑down menu for a list of valid owners. |
3 | Click OK. |
Horizon closes the control record and returns to the MARC record.
Horizon returns to the List Workforms window.
4 | Save your changes. |
