2.42.1 Field 1 Function Keys
2.42.2 Field 2 Eligible Thesauri When > One:
1 character, multiple, tab stop
Purpose: to specify the thesauri to be displayed in the
catalog if more than one thesaurus is present. For example, if a
bib has both LCSH and MeSH, and the collection is MeSH, it is
likely that only the MeSH should be displayed. If a bib has only
one type of thesaurus, that type is displayed, regardless of this
list.
Format: this is a multiple table selection. Each type selected will be displayed when more than one type is present.
Discussion:
Given the bib with these subject headings:
650 - Subject Added Entry--Topical Term = 1st indicator - Level of subject = # - No information provided 2nd indicator - Subject heading system/thesaurus = 0 - Library of Congress Subject Headings $a Topical term or geographic name as entry element = Cardiac glycosides. 650 - Subject Added Entry--Topical Term = 1st indicator - Level of subject = # - No information provided 2nd indicator - Subject heading system/thesaurus = 0 - Library of Congress Subject Headings $a Topical term or geographic name as entry element = Digitalis. 650 - Subject Added Entry--Topical Term = 1st indicator - Level of subject = # - No information provided 2nd indicator - Subject heading system/thesaurus = 2 - Medical Subject Headings $a Topical term or geographic name as entry element = Digitalis Glycosides.
If no thesaurus is specified, then all of these headings will be displayed in the catalog. If only LCSH is specified, then the first two headings are displayed. If only MeSH is specified, then only the last heading is specified. If LC and MeSH are both specified, then all of these headings are displayed in the catalog.
2.42.3 Field 3 Tag for Users' Names and Date:
3 characters, mandatory, tab stop
Purpose: to specify the MARC bibliographic tag to be used to
record the users' names and dates.
Format: any local tag that is not in use. For a tag to be local, it must contain a 9 and not be in the MARC bibliographic tag database.
Discussion: This local tag records the following values:
Subfield a is the value "USERS" but without the quotes.
Subfield b is the YYYYMMDD date that the bib entered the catalog.
Subfield c is the now the bib entered the system, e.g., EXPORT or NEW.
Subfield d is the batch number that the bib entered the catalog.
Subfield e is the name of the user who added the bib to the system.
Subfield f is the batch number that the bib entered the catalog.
Subfield g is the name of the last user who most recently made a change to the bib.
MARC bibliographic tag 005 already records the last date and time of an edit. The software will maintain the values in 005 and in this local tag.
If a user simply imports a bib and does not edit the bib, then there will be no subfields e, f, or g.
The system default tag is 979.
2.42.4 Field 4 Dayfiler runs in foreground:
tab stop
Purpose: To specify that the MARC Bibliographic filer runs in the
foreground. Alternatively, it will run in the background,
freeing the workstation to continue with another process.
Nevertheless, by running in the background, another process will
be prohibited from running. ONLY DESELECT FOREGROUND IF YOU HAVE
PURCHASED SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF DATABASE SIMULTANEOUS USERS.
Menu Style: Radio Button/Check Box
Menu Values: Dayfiler runs in foreground
2.42.5 Field 5 Miscellaneous Flags:
tab stop
Purpose: To specify if the Serials Management Functions should allow
a Serial Title to be added dynamically to the catalog during
functions [Issue Check In], [Copy Edit], or [Add Holdings]. This
would occur when a Serials Librarian enters an ISSN that is not
indexed. If adding is allowed, then the function will ask if the
user wants to add the new ISSN and Title to the Catalog.
Format: It is a check box selection.
Menu Style: Radio Button/Check Box
Menu Values: Add Serial Titles Dynamically
2.42.6 Field 6 Call Number Options:
multiple, tab stop
Purpose: To enable optional features.
Format: It is a check box selection.
Discussion:
Option Display a Cutter's Decimal affects the call number display. A call number may have numerous cutter numbers. Some libraries Some libraries like the cutter's decimal to appear in the call number presentation, but other do not like the decimal. For example, given the following call number:
050 ## $a TS171.4 $b .N67 1990
The software will display this call number as:
- with the decimal TS 171.4 .N67 1990 - without the decimal TS 171.4 N67 1990
Option Sort Numeric Cutters after Alpha-numeric Cutters is contrary to ALA sorting rules but in keeping with NLM sorting philosophy that numeric titles should sort after Z999.
Option Use LIS Call Number Sorting will maintain the original LIS sort algorithm. Note that it does not split concatenated cutters and is inconsistent in removing cutter decimals and in sorting true numeric elements.
Option Use OCLC 099 Format will concatenate all subfield a's together. This is in contrast to standard call number processing which takes only the first subfield a and concatenates all of the subfield b's. In any case, a space or linefeed (as appropriate) is placed between subfield occurrences during the concatenation.
Option Use OCLC 09x $e and $f Format will place a single $e value at the beginning of the call number, and a single $f value at the end of the call number. These values will be separated by a space character or linefeed, as approiate.
Menu Style: Radio Button/Check Box
Menu Values: Display a Cutter's Decimal Sort Numeric Cutters after Alphanumerics Use LIS's Call Number Sorting Use OCLC 099 Format Use OCLC 09x $e & $f Format
2.42.7 Field 7 Purge MARC Bib Batches Days:
4 characters, tab stop
Purpose: To specify the number of days to keep a MARC bib
batch in the database. The night job will trim the batches.
Only batches marked CANCEL, DONE, and DELETED will be expunged
from the database. The associated bibs are not effected.
Format: It is any number greater than 366. A nil value means the purge is not run.
2.42.8 Field 8 MARC Bib Subfield Character:
1 character, mandatory, tab stop
Purpose: To specify a viewable character that will prefix a
subfield identifier in text displays of the MARC bibliographic
data.
Format: It is any character. Popular characters are $, |, and ^.
Examples:
If you specify a $, the MARC Bib displays will look like this:
50 0# $a R15 $b .A48 60 0# $a W1 J221 69 1# $a J03340000 82 0# $a 610/.5 $2 19 245 00 $a JAMA : $b the journal of the American Medical Association. 246 10 $a Journal of the American Medical Association 260 01 $a Chicago : $b American Medical Association, $c 1960-
If you specify a |, the MARC Bib displays will look like this:
50 0# |a R15 |b .A48 60 0# |a W1 J221 69 1# |a J03340000 82 0# |a 610/.5 |2 19 245 00 |a JAMA : |b the journal of the American Medical Association. 246 10 |a Journal of the American Medical Association 260 01 |a Chicago : |b American Medical Association, |c 1960-
2.42.9 Field 9 Controls Ok, Cancel, & Help:
tab stop
Purpose: To specify an action that controls the window's flow.
[Ok] will save and apply the displayed values, whereas [Cancel]
will reject the changes. [Help] will display all of the
documentation for the window. Press the Help key for context
sensitive help for each field.
Format: It is an action that toggles the push button.
Menu Style: Push Button
Menu Values: Ok Cancel Help Previous
