Exporting Open Records

You can export records after you open them. This task works best if you can easily locate and open the records to export. If you cannot, you may want to batch export them instead.

To export open records

1 Open the records that you want to export. (For instructions, see Finding and Opening an Existing Bib Record and Finding and Opening an Authority Record.)

You can export several records at once. Each one must be open either as an icon (minimized at the bottom of your workspace) or as a full record (displayed in the MARC Editor).

Note: When you export a bib record that has item records attached, you can export the item information with that bib record if your system administrator has set up export parameters. (For more information, see “Setting Up Export Parameters” in the Cataloging Setup Guide.)

2 Choose File, Export Record.

Horizon opens the Code Lookup Export Target dialog box.

Note: An export target defines export parameters such as the item tag, column, and subfield that stores the information that you are exporting. Horizon does not ship with targets. Your system administrator must set them up. (For more information, see “Setting Up Export Parameters” in the Cataloging Setup Guide.)

3 Highlight a target and click OK.
4 Do one of these options:

If only one bib or authority record is open

If more than one bib or authority record is open

Horizon opens the Save to a File dialog box.

Save the file as you would save any data file. (For instructions, see Saving and Closing a MARC Record.)

Horizon opens the Select Bibs for Batch Export dialog box:

Do these steps:

1 Highlight each record that you want to export.
2 Click OK.

Horizon opens the Save to a File dialog box.

3 Save the file.

Horizon closes the Save to a File dialog box and saves a copy of the records in the place that you designated. The original records remain in your database.
