• Anatomy of 3 BGSU Problems:

• Marc 240 - Uniform Title information not displayed in Keyword search results

• Marc 505 – Contents information not displaying in Bib display screen

• Checkin Record Location Information not displaying

The Easy Problem:

• Marc 240 Uniform Title data is not displaying in the brief keyword display.

What we expected:

Marc 240, Uniform Title to be displayed in search results.

What we had:

No Marc 240 Uniform Title information displaying in search results.

examined: Marc Record

No Marc 240 Uniform Title information displaying in search results.

There is a 240 Uniform Title for this bib record.

examined: briefcit.html file

No Reference in linkfieldspec to the Marc

240 field.

modified: briefcit.html

Added line referring to the placement of the Marc 240.

The Result!

Voila, the 240 now displays in the Keyword search result screen.

The Hard Problem:

• Marc 505 not displaying in bib screen.• Our Sound Recording Archives adds a lot

of Music Contents notes to our Bib Records for our holdings.

What we expected:

What we had:

The 505 contents information was not

displaying. Big Problem for our Music Library.

examined: Marc Record

No, Here is the 505 data in the Marc that is not displaying.

Data was in the MARC record!

webpub.def it says:b|n|505[^12]|&|Contents||b|

modified webpub.def

I used the # to rem out the default and then put

an m in place of n.

I added the m to the record into display.

It worked !!!And there was much rejoicing.

The Serials Problem:

• No Hotlink for a location. (we had a problem in our LOC wwwoption no one notice before.

• No Checkin Record Location information was displaying in WebPAC.

Serial Display we expected:

Serial display we had:

No Location Information
