Searching for a Title to Use in Serials

You can find a title to work with in Serials in one of these ways:

Search in staff searching for the title. You can search in staff searching for a serials title and send it to Serials Control or Serials Checkin.
Conduct a Quick Search in Serials by indexes such as title keyword, SISAC barcode (ISSN), and UPC barcode. When you use this option, the search string you enter must yield a direct hit. This means that only one title can contain the keywords or number that you enter. If more than one title matches the search string, Horizon prompts you to search in staff searching for the title.

To search for a title to use in Serials

1 Do one of these options:

From staff searching

From Serials

1 Start a New Search.

To do this, press F2 or find the process in the Searching folder on the navigation bar.

2 Search for a title that you want to view. (For instructions, see the “Searching” chapter of the Horizon Basics Guide.)

Proceed with the search until the system displays either a Titles list window or a Bibliographic Detail dialog box.

3 If necessary, highlight the title or titles that you want.

If you highlight more than one title, Horizon will send all the bib records that you highlight to Serials.

4 Press F10 or choose Edit, Send to.

Horizon opens the Send To dialog box.

5 Double-click the process to which you want to send the title or titles.
1 Start the Serials Control Quick Search process or the Serials Checkin Quick Search process.

The default location of these processes is the Serials folder on the navigation bar.

Horizon opens the Search dialog box.

2 Search for the title that you want to view.

If Horizon finds only one title for your search, it opens the Copy List or Issues window for the title.

If Horizon finds more than one title for your search, Horizon prompts you to use the search PAC option (staff searching).

3 If Horizon prompts you to use the search PAC option, click OK, then complete the steps in “From staff searching” in this table.

Horizon displays the Copy List or the Issues window.
