You can link one authority record to one bib record if you open in the MARC Editor only the two records that you want to link.
If you have multiple records of either type open and want to do a one-to-one linkage, do the steps for linking multiple records and choose a single record from both the “from” and the “to” columns. (For instructions, see Linking One or More Authority Records to One or More Bib Records.)
To link a single authority record to a single bib record
1 | Open a bib record to which you want to attach an authority record. |
2 | Open an authority record that you want to attach to the bib record. |
3 | Choose Marc, Link Record, or click the Link icon ( ![]() |
Horizon opens the Resolve Link dialog box:
4 | If necessary, double-click the type of tag that you want to use as the authority tag designation. |
Note: If a tag that you are trying to attach already exists in the bib record as a nonrepeatable tag, Horizon does not attach the tag. Instead, Horizon displays a tag message that explains why the tag cannot be attached.
Note: If the use code of the authority record does not match the type of tag you chose, Horizon asks you to confirm a change in the use code. (A use code indicates whether the authority record is valid for use as a certain authority type.)
5 | Save your changes. |
Horizon inserts the new authority tag and its text in the correct numeric order. You can cut and paste the new tag to move it to the position that you prefer, depending on how your tag action is set. (For instructions, see Cutting, Copying, Pasting, and Deleting Information in a MARC Record.)
