The Title Info tab contains information about the title in your catalog associated with the particular orderline.
If more than one orderline is associated with the order, the title information that displays is associated with the orderline that was selected in the order summary, before displaying or modifying the orderline.
If the orderline selected was created using Skip Item Lookup/Add (the title in the summary displays as a Click for Info glossary), then the Title Info tab contains the message “No title supplied.”
If text was properly typed in the DESC extended information entry for the orderline when the Skip option was used, it displays above the tabs.
Aside from the call number and ISBN/ISSN fields, the information on the Title Info tab is supplied based on the entries in the ACQ catalog purpose format synonym list. As delivered, the following fields appear.
| • | Author |
| • | Call Number |
| • | Edition |
| • | ISBN |
| • | ISBN/ISSN |
| • | ISSN |
| • | Publication Information |
| • | Title |
In the Display an Order wizard, the Orderline tab contains the Bibliographic (Title) Info along with other orderline information to enhance printing capabilities.
For UNIMARC formats, you will need to modify the ACQ entry list to include the UNIMARC entries for author, title, edition, and publication information.
When the Title Info tab is displayed while modifying an orderline, the Change Title Link Helper: Acquisitions becomes available. You can use this helper to change the title the orderline is associated with. Also, the Break Title Link Helper is available for removing a title link.
The following fields are defined for the Title Info tab.
This field contains the item’s author. This field is cataloged using the 1XX field and can be a personal, corporate, or government name. Added or secondary authors display in 7XX fields.
The call number links the current orderline to a title in the catalog. You may type up to 40 characters in this field to identify an existing call number you want associated with this line item. (You could also link to an item ID.) The call number and item ID fields are mutually exclusive. Either a call number an item ID may be identified, but not both. You may delete an existing call number or item ID to break the link between the current orderline and the title in the catalog. You may type a different call number or item ID to relink the order to a different title, or leave the order unlinked. Do not unlink/relink a title and an order unless the Loaded field in the Segments section is set to NEVER.
When orders are loaded, you may update all of the orderline distributions at the same time, or you may update each orderline distribution individually.
The edition contains information relating to a particular the edition of a title. It is recorded in the 250 tag of a MARC record.
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) consists of 10 digits; the last digit may be an X. The digits together represent the language or country of origin, the publisher, and a book identification number. The ISBN, and possibly the price of the book, may be included in the 020 tag of a MARC record. Each volume of a title may have a different ISBN, but a true reprint will not receive a new ISBN. The equivalent for serial publications is the ISSN.
WorkFlows validates ISBN (020) entries. Anytime you type an ISBN that contains invalid characters, or whose digits do not pass the validation calculation as described in the standard for this number, WorkFlows displays a warning. However, you are not prevented from saving an invalid ISBN to the orderline record.
A standard title ID field, labeled ISBN/ISSN, displays in orderlines when an orderline is created or modified. The ISBN/ISSN values are provided by default from the corresponding tags in the bibliographic record in the catalog, with the ISBN coming from the 020 and the ISSN coming from the 022. The ISBN is displayed as a 10 character string with no spaces or punctuation. The ISSN is displayed as a pair of four character strings separated by a hyphen.
For example:
ISBN: 0345026713
ISSN: 0095-7119
WorkFlows validates ISBNs and ISSNs in orderline records. Anytime you type an ISBN or ISSN that contains invalid characters, or whose digits do not pass the validation calculation as described in the standard for these numbers, WorkFlows displays a warning. However, you are not prevented from saving an invalid ISBN or ISSN to the orderline record.
When an orderline is created, the first ISBN or ISSN found in the bibliographic record is inserted in the ISBN/ISSN field according to the following rules. For dated orders, the ISSN will be used first, and the ISBN will be used if no ISSN is available. For all other orders, the ISBN will be used first, and the ISSN will be used if no ISBN is available. For orderlines not linked to the catalog, the ISBN/ISSN field will be empty.
Note: If a title is added for ordering using SmartPort, the ISBN/ISSN is not available in the orderline at the time of creation, although it does display in the orderline when the orderline is later modified.
When an order is received, ISBN/ISSN is displayed as Orderline ISXN.
The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) consists of eight digits in two groups of four separated by a hyphen. The last digit may be an X. The ISSN is recorded in the 022 tag of a MARC record. The equivalent for monograph publications is the ISBN.
WorkFlows validates ISSN (022) entries. Anytime you type an ISSN that contains invalid characters, or whose digits do not pass the validation calculation as described in the standard for this number, WorkFlows displays a warning. However, you are not prevented from saving an invalid ISSN to the orderline record.
This field contains the publication location, publisher name, and the publication year. To learn more about how this field is cataloged, see Searching by Publication Year.
Titles related to orderlines may be hyperlinked to more detailed bibliographic, volume, and copy information. The information that displays is the same information that prints on the purchase order. If the orderline is not associated with a standard SirsiDynix Symphony title information when an orderline is created, the title field may display a Click for Info glossary which displays the orderline’s descriptions. When the orderline is not associated with a standard SirsiDynix Symphony title information when an orderline is displayed, the title entered in the Additional Orderline Information DESC field displays along with other catalog titles. However, if no data is entered into the DESC field, no data displays in the title field.
