Adding a Link Tag to a Bib Record

You can add several different kinds of link tags to a bib record. These tags link from the bib record to another source of information.

You can add authority-controlled tags that define authorities (author, series, subject). These tags link to authority records, which keep information uniform when it is repeated in multiple bib records. If you need to, you can change the default authority link type.

You can add link tags that let users view images, full text, animation, sound, or other electronic documents. All users can view these items by double‑clicking on a line of the full bib display in PAC. Catalogers can view these items by double-clicking on the link in the bib record. These tags can link to Internet sites or to electronic files in your library.

You can add tags that link bib records to other bib records, such as for books in a series. (For more information, see Working with Linked Bib Records.) You can also add tags that link authority records to other authority records. (For more information, see Creating a Cross‑Reference.)
