Chapter 23 Using the MARC Editor

267

will find that many of the tags you need are already listed. From that starting

point, you can add tags as you need them. (For a complete listing of the tags

recognized by Cataloging, see Appendix B, Bibliographic and authority tags.")

To insert a tag, position your cursor above the desired insertion point and click

the Insert tag button, or select Tag | Insert Tag. The Insert Tag dialog lists all the

repeatable (R) tags and all of the unused nonrepeatable (NR) tags:

Either type the tag's number

in the text box and click Insert

or doubleĆclick on the tag.

If you're not sure of

the tag's number,

use the scroll bar

to search for the

tag you want.

Warning:

Cataloging supports importing and exporting holdings data in the

852 tag. But don't add 852 tags for your copy information. The copy

editor, accessed from the MARC View window, provides you with a

much easier way to enter the information (see Chapter 24, Working

with copies"). Upon export, Cataloging places that copy information

in 852 tags.

If you inserted a tag in the wrong place, you can always delete it. Likewise, if you

base a new record on an existing one, and it contains information you don't need,

you can delete the data a tag at a time.

Note:

If a tag is required, the delete option is unavailable. For example, a 245 tag

is always required in bibliographic records and can't be deleted. (Required

tags are specified in the Template Editor; see Appendix C, Bibliographic

and authority templates.")

Don't bother deleting unused tags. When you save the record, unused tags don't

take up any extra space, and any tags that you added but didn't use are removed.

Besides, if a tag is a default selection for the template, that tag always appears

when you open the record in the MARC Editor.

To delete a tag, place the cursor in any subfield for that tag and click the Delete

tag button, or choose Tag | Delete Tag, and then confirm that you really want to

delete it.
