The pages and tasks for redirected searches for Z39.50 libraries look and function exactly the same as redirected searches for your local libraries. However, you access the redirected search pages for Z39.50 libraries in the Z39.50 sub-tab. Also, you can use these redirected searches only for Z39.50 libraries.
A redirected search determines which data elements in a search result display can be made a hyperlink or “redirected” on a search page. When users click the redirected element, Information Portal performs a new search. You choose which elements are hyperlinked and what kind of new search Information Portal performs when users click the hyperlink. (For example, your library may want to let users click the author’s name on a full bib page to see a browse list of authors, or your library may want to let users click on the title on the full bib page to see the information contained in the title’s 856 tag.) You can redirect a search on any search page for which you have a display. (For more information on displays, see Customizing a Z39.50 Search Result Display.)
If you want to, you can change an old redirected search by adding a new redirected search with the changed information, then deleting the old redirected search. Also, if you no longer need a redirected search, you can delete it.
