Many of the features in the general layout for books are shared in common with other material types, for example Names, Classes and Subjects. A number of tips are provided here highlighting differences for specific material types.
Note: Admin Client Defaults is where you can set the default Titles Media Type to the value that is useful for the majority of your catalogue records.
In the Titles domain when you click New Record in context the standard cataloguing form loads for the system default media type. For different types of material, change to the correct Media Type e.g. Journal, and a new layout automatically loads. Here are some examples:
This information is for journal titles and in OLIB these generally exist once, optionally with Issue records linked as the 'contents' of the parent journal title. The same journal title for cataloguing is also used when the serials management module is implemented.
Differences to note for Journals cataloguing:
The e-Journal Link can be used to add a link to a website.
In Holdings information you can enter free text. To add the holdings information for a specific location click on Other Locations.
Edit the default Location if required. The holdings dates are entered through the calendar system.
Save the record as normal and repeat the process if sets are held at other locations.
Once all holdings have been added the record is displayed in the same way as copy records linked to a book.
This information assumes that the Issue containing the article has been checked in through the serials management system in the normal way.
First find the issue that contains the article to be catalogued. To do this change the standard title search to a Serial Issues by Serial Title search.
Change the Media Type to Video. If a variety of types of video are held then a Media Sub-type can also be chosen.
Differences to note for Videos:
This is an example of how you can create a link to an electronic version of an item.
Note: for a web link to launch the full URL must be entered, including the http:// element.
The General - Maps layout is used here to illustrate these features. These include 034 Cartographic codes, 256 Cartographic mathematical data & Ordnance Survey grid co-ordinates.
Note: in addition it is possible to add Ordnance Survey grid co-ordinates to the catalogue record. This may also be relevant to other media types (e.g. photographs) which need to be retrieved by location. The OS grid co-ordinates attributes can be added to the cartographic materials layouts for those libraries that require it.
From the Titles hit list it is possible to update the Media Sub-type of multiple Title records.
If you attempt to update with an incompatible sub-type, an error message informs you of this.
Use the Clear option at the end of the above list if you wish to remove the Media Sub-type from the Title record(s).
