Creating a Newspaper Index Record

If you want to index information regarding a newspaper article, you can create a Newspaper Index record. You use a Newspaper Index workform to enter information about the article.

As you create a Newspaper Index record, you should add authority tags. You can include author and subject tags. This lets Horizon automatically create authority records for newspaper articles.

To create a Newspaper Index record

1 Start the Create New Bib process.

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

Horizon displays the Code Lookup Bib Workforms window.

2 Double-click on a Newspaper Index workform.

Horizon displays a workform window.

For a description of each field, click on the tag number or subfield letter. Horizon displays the description at the top of the input window.

3 Enter the information that you have gathered about the newspaper article in the appropriate tags and subfields. (For instructions on gathering information, see Gathering Information for a Newspaper Index Workform.)
4 If necessary, add authority tags. (For instructions, see “Creating an Authority Record Automatically” in the “Authority Records” chapter of Cataloging Guide.)
5 Save your changes.
