Setting Up or Changing Web-Accessible Help

Catalogers can get help with what should display in a tag or subfield while they are working in the MARC Editor by positioning the mouse pointer in the tag or subfield for which they need help and pressing Shift+F1. This accesses a web page of information. Horizon provides default links to the Library of Congress Web site for tag help. You can change or add to these URLs.

Web-accessible help works only if the workstation from which the cataloger tries to access an URL has Internet access and an appropriate browser.

To set up or change Web-accessible help

1 Start the Cat Help URL Setup process.

The default location of this process is the Cataloging\Cataloging Control Menu folder on the navigation bar.
