Creating a See Also Reference Automatically

You can create a See Also reference manually by linking one valid authority to another. You can choose whether you want to create a two‑way link (with two See Also references) or a one‑way link.

A two‑way link displays a See Also cross‑reference on a search results screen for either authority heading. A one‑way link displays a See Also reference for only the authority heading that you specify.

To create a See Also reference manually

1 Open the two authority records that you want to work with to create a See Also reference. (For instructions, see Finding and Opening an Authority Record.)
2 Make sure that the authority record that you want to be the primary record is the active record.
3 Choose Marc, Link Record, or click the Link icon ( ) in the toolbar.

Horizon opens the Resolve Link dialog box.

4 Double‑click the appropriate 5XX linking tag.
5 If Horizon displays a dialog box that asks if you want to create reciprocal links, do one of these options:
Click Yes.

Horizon inserts a cross‑reference (5XX) tag in the primary record. When you save the primary record, Horizon inserts a cross‑reference tag in the secondary record. Each cross‑reference tag contains the authority heading from the other authority record.

Click No.

Horizon inserts a cross‑reference (5XX) tag in only the primary record. The cross‑reference tag contains the authority heading from the secondary authority record.

6 Save your changes.
