Welcome to the Cataloging Setup Guide. This guide explains the tasks you need to do to configure Horizon so that it handles MARC records in a way that matches your library standards. Once you set up Cataloging, you can use Horizon for tasks such as creating, importing, and exporting records, creating fast-added records, verifying the authority records attached to bibliographic (bib) records, and so forth. You use the tools in the Security Menu to set up which staff members can do various tasks in the MARC Editor, and whether they can view or edit MARC record components. (For more information, see Using Security in Cataloging or the “Security and Preferences” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)
This guide assumes that you know how to use the Table Editor. (For more information, see “Horizon Table Editor” in the “Getting Started” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)
Whenever you make a change to Horizon setup, you should exit Horizon and restart it on any workstation where you want the change to take effect.
