If your library staff needs additional fields added, you must set up the type of information staff can enter in the short bib records.
Setting up short bib records includes specifying these things:
• | The bib table column that stores the information you want staff to enter. |
• | How the information is used (as an author, title, subject, and so forth). |
• | The label that displays next to the field on the short bib record. |
• | One of two marc maps: one for indexing the record if you want borrowers to be able to search for it in PAC; and one for including the record in the database if you do not want borrowers to be able to search for it in PAC. |
When short bib records are created, if the new records are assigned a MARC map that indexes short bib items, Horizon stores the information in an indexed tag. This lets borrowers find the item from the type of search the MARC map accesses.
By default, Horizon assigns the user default ownership to short bib records.
To specify bib information in short bib records
1 | Open themarc_usage (MARC field usage definition) view in the Table Editor. |
2 | Choose the set of MARC usage rules you want to change, or create a new set of rules. |
Horizon displays theEdit MARC Field Usage window:
3 | Complete or update the fields in the window. (For a description of each field, see Edit MARC Field Usage Window.) |
4 | Save your changes. |
