Changing a Bib or Authority Record’s Status

Bib and authority records have different status fields. Horizon provides default statuses that you can assign to each record. A bib record may have one of these statuses:

cc (Cataloging Complete)
ip (In Process)
ns (No Status)
uc (Uncataloged)
uf (User Fast Added)
wd (Withdrawn)

An authority record may have one of these statuses:

cc (Cataloging Complete)
ns (No Status)

“Cataloging Complete” is the default status set for both bib and authority records. You can change this default or add to and edit the preset status fields in the Table Editor. (For information, see “Setting Up Bib and Authority Record Statuses” in the Cataloging Setup Guide.)

Because the default status is set to “Cataloging Complete,” you should change the status for fast‑added records to reflect their uncataloged status.

To change a bib or authority record’s status

1 Open the control record of the bib or authority record for which you want to change the status. (For instructions, see Opening a Control Record.)
2 Enter the new status in the Status entry box. Use the drop‑down menu for a list of valid options.
3 Click OK.

Horizon closes the control record and returns to the MARC record.

4 Save your changes.
