When you use an import source to link bib records, Horizon automatically finds the match and creates the link. The import source defines Link Match criteria so that when you enter text in one record, Horizon can use that text to find the record you want to link to. Before you can use an import source to link bib records, your system administrator must set up Link Match criteria. (For more information on import sources, see Importing Records. For more information about setting up and editing import sources, see the “Setting Up Import Source Parameters” section of the
To link bib records by using an import source
1 | Open the bib record that you want to link. |
2 | Make sure that you have specified the import source that you want in Customize Editor. (For instructions, see Choosing the Import Source for Bib‑to‑Bib Linking.) |
3 | Add the linking tag that you want to use for the link. |
4 | Enter the appropriate match criterion (for example, you might match on the ISBN of the other record). |
5 | Leave the field. |
Horizon populates the “From” bib record and puts a tag in the “To” bib record, even though the “To” bib record is not open.
6 | Save your changes. |
