A MARC record is made up of components such as tags, indicators, fields, and subfields. Each component contains specific information that can be added or edited as necessary. If your system administrator has defined relationships between bib and item records, Horizon lets you choose to change the call numbers in any attached copy and item records.
Besides changing the information in a component, you can also use special techniques to control how search results are sorted. You can also enter special characters not typically found on a keyboard.
Before you edit an authority‑controlled tag, check for an existing authority to make sure that you do not change anything that you do not want to change. (For more information, see Editing Authority Records.)
