Using Horizon's Default Normalization Procedure

Horizon’s default normalization procedure does these things:

Removes left and right parentheses.
Depending on your settings in the matham table, either removes trailing punctuation characters from the end of the string or removes trailing punctuation characters from the end of each subfield within the string. (For more information, see “Subfield Setup Tasks” in the “General Setup” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)
Deletes leading and trailing spaces.
Replaces multiple spaces with a single space.
Performs a case-insensitive comparison.

To use Horizon’s default normalization procedure

1 Open the matham table in the Table Editor, or start the Matham System Wide Parameters process.

The default location of this process is the Administration\System Setup folder on the navigation bar.

2 Verify that your settings in the Auth Matching Ignores Punctuation and Preserve Auth Punct. in Marc Recs fields match your library policy.
3 Verify that the NACO Normalize Auth Matching field is unmarked.
4 Save any changes.
