If you're searching Selected Database Sources, the selection list shows (from left

to right) the title, the matching entry, and the source of each record. If you're

searching for authority records, the selection list shows the heading, usage, and

the date the record was last updated.
If the selection list doesn't include the item you want, try another type of search.

When you're sure that there isn't even a close match, see Adding, saving,

copying, and editing MARC records" on page 251.
If you think you've found a match, doubleĆclick on it, or highlight it and press

Enter. The selected record appears in the MARC View window.
The MARC View window gives you two ways to view a record: MARC Proof

Sheet Display and OPAC Display. To switch between the different MARC View

displays, select the appropriate option from the File menu:

The MARC Proof Sheet Display shows all

of the record's tags and subfields. This

lets you make certain that you've found

the right record.
If you're searching Alliance Plus or the

union catalog database, make certain you

check the MARC Proof Sheet Display

before you save the record to your

database.

In OPAC Display, a bibliographic record appears almost

exactly as your patrons see it in the OPAC, including the

hyperlinks to electronic resources.
This lets you check the record's content and the validity

of any Electronic Access links you've cataloged.
Note: For netLibrary eBooks only, a hyperlink (856 tag)

does not appear in OPAC Display. To view the netLibrary

eBook, click the Preview button in the lower right corner

of the window.
In OPAC Display, authority records display only the

authority heading with the associated 4XX (SEE) and/or

5XX (SEE ALSO) tags.

Shows the number of titles in the Book

Cart and any copy circulation status

In both views, a bibliographic record

shows the call number, barcode, status,

and description for each copy.
Note: In Union Catalog Plus, Copy

Information shows the member's name,

call number, barcode, and description.
