Editing a Link Tag in a Bib Record

You can edit most parts of a linked bib record as you would edit any MARC record. However, if you edit a linked or reciprocal tag directly—in the bib record that displays only the linking tag—you break the original link. This is because the information in a link tag or reciprocal link tag comes from tags in the record it links to, so it “belongs” to the other record.

If you want to edit the information in a link tag or reciprocal link tag without breaking the link, you must edit the tag in the record to which the tag belongs. When you do this, all the bib records linked to it reflect those changes:

To edit a link tag in a bib record

1 Open the bib record that has the link tag or reciprocal link tag that you want to edit.
2 Double‑click the link tag or reciprocal link tag that you want to edit.

Horizon opens the record that contains the tag.

3 Edit the information in the record.
4 Save your changes.
5 Save the bib record that you opened in step 1 to see the changes that you made.
