Select a range of authors, subjects, or series to search.
For instructions on selecting the starting and ending
records, see page 314.
Identify the method you want to use to search the library database. To search all
the bibliographic records in the database, choose All Records.
Select the type of tags you want to update. Please note
that only indexed tags are updated. For a list of the
indexed tags, see Appendix B.
Enter the subfield codes and text you want to update.
To ensure that you find the correct heading, it's a good
idea to include the complete heading. The sequence of
the subfields, and the spelling and punctuation of the
text, must match the tags you want to change exactly.
To disregard capitalization, select Ignore case."
Enter the new subfield codes and text. Please note,
the subfield information you enter replaces all of the
subfields used to define your search. So, if you
searched for the complete heading, you need to
replace the complete heading, even if the information
in certain subfields isn't changing. For example, in this instance since subfield _d is being used to help
find the correct heading, it must be included in the replacement criteria, even though it's not changing.
After entering your search and replacement criteria, click Search to locate the
first matching record. While Cataloging searches for a match, a progress
dialog appears.
2. When Cataloging finds the first match, the Global Update Heading - Replace
Tag dialog appears. Use the information in this dialog to help you decide
whether to update the tag or not:
