Setting Up Prefix Changes

You can set up an import source to replace any prefix in the USMARC 001 tag either with another prefix or with a blank. (This will happen even if you have marked the Move 001 to 035 on import box in the matham view.) You can also choose to replace or remove prefixes in Link Match Point tags. (For more information, see Setting Up Link Match Points.)

You can set up a default prefix to add, and set up multiple prefix changes. Horizon adds the default prefix if no prefix changes are specified, or if no additional prefixes are specified to be added.

To set up prefix changes

1 Open the import_source view in the Table Editor, or start the Import Sources process.

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

2 Choose the import source you want to change, or create a new import source.
3 Click Page Down or resize the window to display the Default prefix to add field:

4 Enter the default prefix you want Horizon to add to any imported records.

For example, enter “OCoLC” for OCLC records.

Horizon adds this prefix to the 001 tag or linking tags unless you set up prefixes to remove and add in the Prefix to Remove group.

5 Click Page Down or resize the window to display the Prefix to Remove group.
6 Complete or update these fields in the group:

Field

Action

Prefix to Remove

If you want a prefix to be removed, enter it here.

(For example, enter “ocm” for OCLC records.)

Prefix to Add

Enter the prefix to add in place of the one removed.

This field can be left blank, which replaces the prefix with a blank unless you enter a default prefix in the Default prefix to add field.

7 Click New and repeat step 6 for any other prefixes that you want Horizon to change.
8 Save your changes.
