Deleting tags globally

With Global Delete Tag, you can find and delete any of the following

bibliographic tags that contain obsolete, unwanted, or incorrect information:

S

526ĊStudy program information note

S

856ĊElectronic location and access (hyperlinks)

S

9xxĊLocal information

This feature allows you to delete all occurrences of a tag, tags that have a certain

subfield, or only tags that have a certain subfield containing specific information.
1. To delete the bibliographic tags, from the Cataloging main window, choose

Edit | Global Delete Tag. The Global Delete Tag dialog appears:

Choose this option to find every

occurrence of this tag.

Choose the tag you want to delete.

If you choose 9xx, enter the exact

tag number.

Click to locate the

matching records.

Choose this option if you want to find

tags that contain a specific subfield,

and enter the subfield you want.

If you want to locate tags that contain specific information, enter the subfield data you want to find here.

If you specify a subfield and leave the Data text field blank, the process finds every occurrence of the specified tag/subfield combination.

If you specify the subfield contents, you can enter up to 100 characters, but

you do not need to enter the entire contents of the subfield. If the data you

enter is at the beginning of the subfield, the process considers it a match.

Please note that the search is caseĆsensitive.

Examples:

Delete Tag dialog, select the 856 - Electronic Location and Access" and the
