Setting Up a Non-MARC Workform

Once you have defined the non-MARC bib-based and authority-based elements and field groups, you can assign them to dynamic and static workforms. You create workforms in Cataloging. (For information on creating workforms, see “Creating a Non-MARC Workform” in the “Workforms” chapter of the Cataloging Guide.)

You need to create non-MARC authority workforms first. You may find it helpful to identify each workform as non-MARC. (For example, you could describe the non-MARC author workform as “NMauth.”) Then you need to go back to the non_MARC_element view and link the non-MARC authority workforms to the appropriate bib element. (For instructions, see Setting Up a Non-MARC Element.) After you link the elements to the authority workforms, you can create bib workforms. Then you can use the workforms to create non-MARC records.
