8.9.1 Field 1 Function Keys
8.9.2 Field 2 Serial Look Up:
80 characters, tab stop
Purpose: To identify a serial by its ISSN, MARC Number, the MARC
Control Number (tag 001), bar code, or part of the title.
Only titles without monographic holdings (items) may be selected.
Format: This field accepts an appropriate combination of letters and numbers. When searching by words from a title, any number of words may be used. The words do not need to be in order, and can be abbreviated.
The most efficient way to look up a title is to enter an acceptable value (e.g. a reasonable portion of the title or the entire ISSN) and press either the ENTER, TAB, or CURSOR DOWN key. The software will work better using this method than entering a value and clicking on the Look Up push buttons below the Look Up field.
Example: "SCIE AMER" or "amer scie" and pressing ENTER will both find Scientific American if it is in the catalog.
8.9.3 Field 3 Look Up Menu:
tab stop
Purpose: To specify a look up function that matches the value in
the Serial Look Up text field (located above this collection of
push buttons).
Format: It is a push button selection.
Examples: if the Serial Look Up text field has an ISSN value, select function [ISSN]. If the Serial Look Up text field has portions of a title, select function [Title].
Menu Style: Push Button
Menu Values: Title MARC# ISSN Control# Bar Code
8.9.4 Field 4 Serial Copy Number:
2 characters, tab stop
Purpose: To specify the Serial Copy for the previously selected
title. A Serial Copy is a set of issues. Typically, most
titles will have one Copy. When more than one Copy exists, then
the specific Copy must be selected for the operation.
Format: It is a number or table selection. Some functions, such as [Issue Check In], will allow a new Copy to be created via the field.
8.9.5 Field 5 Choice of the Target Device:
tab stop
Purpose: To specify the target device for the output. The
choices typically are Workstation, Default Printer, Alternate
Printer, File, or a named E-mail address.
