Cataloging

When you display a netLibrary eBook, there is an additional button on the lower

right corner of the window for previewing the item. Click the Preview button to

launch your browser and open the eBook at the netLibrary Web site. In OPAC

Display, the netLibrary hyperlink (856 tag) does not appear.

In some bibliographic records, you might notice certain electronic access (Elec.

Access) hyperlinks (856 tags) appear and print from the OPAC Display but not in

the MARC Proof Sheet Display. You're seeing virtual" 856 tags in action. To edit,

delete, or export a virtual 856 tag, find the authority record that contains the

information; the authority heading matches one of the bibliographic record's

subject headings.

Note:

You control whether or not virtual 856 tags display; see the Show

Authority 856 tags in OPAC" option on System Setup's Cataloging Misc

tab (see page 57). For more information on virtual 856 tags, see page 358.

For Union Catalog Plus: Copy Information differs slightly at the union catalog.

Each copy listing shows the short site name of the member that owns it.

Availability (status) does not display. Even if the search was limited to a single

member, Copy Information shows all the copies attached to the record.

TitlePeek

If you have a subscription to TitlePeek, you may see a button on the right (next to

the Save button). Clicking this button launches your browser and displays

additional bibliographic information about the title. This may include: cover

image, table of contents, publisher summary, author notes, and journal reviews.

This service allows you to browse the shelves" without leaving your

workstation and can assist you in collection development, curriculum support,

and the assessment of readability and interest levels. The button appears in the

MARC View window only when the MARC record contains an ISBN and

information is available for the title and you have a subscription to TitlePeek. You

can access this information through MARC records that are in your local

database, your union catalog, or from Alliance Plus Online.
