The number of buttons that fit on the toolbar depends on the monitor's desktop

area and the size of the buttons. The buttons do not wrap to a second row. If you

select more buttons than can be displayed, some of the buttons will not be

accessible. The following table lists the number of buttons that can display at

each standard monitor resolution.

Whether or not you add a button for a feature to the toolbar, all the features you

enable are accessible from one of OPAC's menus.

Modifying the record display

These options determine how much of the MARC record is visible when title and

copy information is displayed in your OPAC:

To have the full MARC record

information appear by default,

select Full record. Otherwise,

the brief record appears.

To include the description/enumeration

with the copy information, select this

box. If the check box is cleared,

the information does not appear or

print.

To include interest or reading grade

level notes (521 tag) in title information,

select the appropriate check box.

If a check box is cleared, the

information does not appear or print.
To include review sources (510 tag) in

title information, select this check box.

If a check box is cleared, the

information does not appear or print.

Patrons can always switch between brief and full records when viewing. For a list

of the MARC tags used in full and brief record displays, see page 638.

Selecting limiter options

The limiter options you choose determine what limitations can be placed on

searches at the current workstation.

Important:

When using limiters, remember that if a record doesn't contain the

limiting information, your OPAC never displays it. This is

particularly important when using reading and interest level limiters.

To use these limiters effectively, your records must contain specific

information in a 521 tag. For more information, see Reading and

interest levels and the 521 tag" on page 634.
