Review Titles Wizard

The Review Titles wizard is used to display and modify records in the Cataloging review file. Review records allow bibliographic records to be reviewed at the workstation without actually existing as part of the regular catalog. Review records are not indexed and cannot be created at the workstation. Review records are created using reports.

To display/modify cataloging review records

Click the Special Cataloging Functions group wizard.

Click the Review Titles wizard. The Review Title window appears.

In the Index list, specify the index you want to search. You can search the XX Call Number or a Title Control Number, however, it is not necessary to enter a specific search term.

In the Review Status list, select a review status to qualify your search. If no other search options are entered, all review records containing the selected review status will display.

In the Library list, select the cataloging library you want. If this option is used, it should be in conjunction with either a review status or a truncated Title Control Number search or a display error may result.

If your search finds results, a list of matching records displays in the hit list pane. If the View pane is turned on, the selected title will display in the lower portion of the window with two tabs, Description and Details.

Double-click the title you want to modify or select the title you want to modify, and then click Modify.

To modify information that pertains to the entire title, click the Control Tab.

To make changes to the MARC fixed data or the bibliographic text of the title, click the Bibliographic Tab.

To display call number and item information, click the Call Number/Item Tab.

After a title is modified, you have these options:

–

Save to save the record to the database

–

Close to close the wizard without saving your changes

–

Return to Search to return to the Display Review window

The file of cataloging review records is stored in the /Unicorn/Rptsched/Review directory and contains pointers to the records to be processed by the Review Titles wizard. It is recommended that you periodically remove the processed files in the /Review directory. You will need to manually delete these files from the SirsiDynix Symphony server.
