Assigning a Source Catalog Code to an Import Source Parameter

Once you have created your source catalog codes, you can assign a specific source catalog code to your import source profile so that you can track the source (vendor) of your imported records. The import source profile controls how you import MARC records. Horizon records the source catalog for each item that you specify as trackable in the item_activity table in the database. This source catalog of the item with a trackable status displays in the Item Activity Report.

For more information about the import source profile, see the “Setting Up General Import Source Parameters for Bib and Authority Records” section in the “Setting Up Import Source Parameters” section of the Cataloging Setup Guide.

If you specify a source catalog code on the import source, Horizon saves this code when you save deleted information about item records that Horizon creates during bib import. (For more information, see Defining a Source Catalog Code.)
