  • This system preference controls hiding of bibliographic records in the OPAC. Enter 「1」 in the field mapped to the suppress index (942$n in MARC21, no official field in UNIMARC) in each bibliographic record you want to hide from the OPAC. The indexer then hides it from display in OPAC but will still display it in the staff interface.

備註

An authorized value should be set for the MARC21 942$n field (or the equivalent UNIMARC field) to eliminate errors. You can use the YES_NO authorized value category, or create a new one titled SUPPRESS, for example, with a value of 0 for don’t suppress and 1 for suppress.

警告

If this preference is set to 『hide』 and you have the 942$n field set to 1, it will hide the entire bibliographic record, not just an individual item.

備註

Suppressed records will show a note in the staff interface indicating that they are suppressed from view in the OPAC.

Example of a bibliographic record in the staff interface with the 'Suppressed in OPAC' note at the top

This note can be styled by using the IntranetUserCSS preference to stand out more if you’d like.

Example of a bibliographic record in the staff interface with the 'Suppressed in OPAC' note at the top; the note is red and large

    Record with component records shown in the 'Component' tab, in the staff interface

  • If set to 『OPAC』 (or 『both staff interface and OPAC』), the component records will appear in the host record’s detail page in the OPAC, under the 『Components』 tab.

    Record with component records shown in the 'Component' tab, in the OPAC

  • Components to be displayed are found using the host record’s control number (001) in the child record’s 773$w subfield, regardless of the UseControlNumber system preference.

    For example, the host record is

    001 4379599
    003 FI-BTJ
    245 00 ‡aEasy piano pieces for children.
    

    The component record is

    Important

    Unless you are going in and manually changing 773$w to match your rigorously-defined bibliographic relationships, you should set this preference to 「Don’t use」 and instead set EasyAnalyticalRecords to 「Display」

Description:

  • If you have a serial called 「Journal of Interesting Things」 which has a separate record from when it was called 「Transactions of the Interesting Stuff Society,」 you could add linking fields to indicate the relationship between the two records. UseControlNumber allows you to use your local accession numbers for those links. In MARC21, the relevant sections of the two records might look like this:

    =001    12345
    =110  2_$aInteresting Stuff Society.
    =245  10$aTransactions of the Interesting Stuff Society.
    =785  00$aInteresting Stuff Society$tJournal of Interesting Things.$w12346
