Creating a Questions and Answers Record

If you want to have borrowers and staff view a question and its answer, you can create a Questions and Answers record. You use a Questions and Answers workform to enter information about a question and its answer.

As you create a Questions and Answers record, you should add a subject authority tag. This lets Horizon automatically create authority records for the question and answer.

To create a Questions and Answers record

1 Start the Create New Bib process.

The default location of this process is the Cataloging\Bibliographic Record folder on the navigation bar.

Horizon displays the Code Lookup Bib Workforms window.

2 Double-click on a Questions and Answers workform.

Horizon displays a workform window.

For a description of each field, click on the tag number or subfield letter. Horizon displays the description at the top of input window.

3 Enter the information that you have gathered about the question in the appropriate tags and subfields. (For instructions on gathering information, see Gathering Information for a Questions and Answers Workform.)
4 If necessary, add authority tags. (For instructions, see “Creating an Authority Record Automatically” in the “Authority Records” chapter of the Cataloging Guide.)
5 Save your changes.
