To set your limiters, select Limiters from the Tools menu or toolbar:
Allows you to select
multiple material types
Click to save the
limiters.
Reading levels can range
from 0.1 to 20.0. To enter
a number above 14.9, type
it in the text box.
Note: For the reading and
interest levels limiters to be
effective, your records must
contain information in a 521
tag. For more information on
cataloging reading and interĆ
est levels, see page 634.
To limit the search to
one member database -
available only for Union
Catalog Plus
To limit by publishing year, reading level, or interest level, choose Select and
define the desired range. To limit searches by material type, select or clear the
check boxes so only the material types you want to include are checked.
Remember, the more restrictive you make the limiter options, the longer it takes
to get search results.
For Union Catalog Plus: In addition to using the above limiters, you can choose
to search the entire union catalog database or only the collection of one member
site. By default, the entire union catalog database is searched. To search a single
member's collection, click the Members button on the Limiters dialog, and select
the desired member. When you limit by member, the search results include only
the titles owned by that member, but the Copy Information in the MARC Viewer
shows all the copies attached to the record. To clear the member limitation and
resume searching the entire union catalog database, click Clear and OK on the
Limiters dialog.
Accelerated Reader search
In both Cataloging and OPAC, you can search for items belonging to the
Accelerated Reader program. You can limit the search by reading level, point
value, subject, and/or author.
To retrieve them, you must have either Accelerated Reader" or AR" in subfield
a of the 526 tag in the item's MARC record. To limit by reading level, the reading
level must be in the 526 subfield c. The search does not examine the 521 tag
(Target Audience Note). To learn more about cataloging Accelerated Reader
information in the 526 tag, see page 635.
In OPAC, the full MARC record display in the text interface includes subfields a,
b, c, d, and z (at Union Catalog Plus sites, subfield 5 also appears). The record
display in the visual interface includes subfields a, c, d, and z.
