Defining a Source Catalog Code

If you want to, you can identify sources from which your library obtains cataloging records. You can also identify the union catalog that tracks which libraries hold copies of a bib record. The Batch Item Delete process can use this code to specify the file format that it uses when it creates an output file. If Horizon created the item during bib import and you specified a source catalog code on the import source, Batch Item Delete also saves this code when you save deleted information.

You must define a code of “PLAIN” in the source_catalog view before you can create an output file.
