Horizon also displays the author, title, and subject information on the borrower log. The borrower log is a cumulative list of items that have been checked out to each Home Service borrower. It helps you determine what items are appropriate for a borrower. (For more information, see Reviewing the Borrower Log.)
If you want to display the author, title, and subject information on borrower slips and the borrower log, you need to create the corresponding MARC maps.
Horizon uses a certain amount of disk space to store the author, title, and subject information for each item. If you will have a lot of Home Service borrowers, if you want to conserve disk space, and if you do not mind omitting certain information from borrower slips and the borrower log, you do not need to create all three MARC maps. (For example, if you do not mind omitting subject information, you do not need to create the “hbsubj” map.)
To create the MARC maps, you can copy an existing MARC map and give it a new name. (For example, you can copy the “author” MARC map to create the “hsauth” MARC map. Then if you want, you can modify the MARC information that is included in the map according to the information you want to display.) You can also create the MARC maps from scratch. (For more information, see “MARC Maps” in the “General Setup” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)
You can create the MARC maps at any time. However, it is best to do it when you set up Home Service for the first time. That is because if you check out any Home Service items before you create the maps, it will be too late to extract the MARC information for those items, and the corresponding author, title, or subject information will not be displayed.
To create the MARC maps
1 | Open the marc_map view in the Table Editor. |
Horizon opens the List MARC Map window.
2 | Highlight the MARC map that you want to copy. (For example, you may highlight the author MARC map.) |
3 | Choose File, Copy Record. |
Horizon displays the Edit MARC Map window:
4 | Enter the new Home Service code in the Marc_map Code field. (For example, enter “hsauth”.) |
5 | Enter a description for the new MARC map in the Description field. (For example, enter “Home Service Author Display”.) |
6 | Make sure you mark Do Not Run-on for the Run-on option. |
7 | If you want to modify other MARC information that is included in the map, follow these steps: |
• | Click Page Down or resize the window to display the Extraction group: |
• | Complete these fields for each tag in the MARC map: |
8 | Save your changes. |
9 | Repeat steps 2 through 8 for the Dtitle and Dsubj MARC maps. |
