Linking Bib Records
If you have only one record open, ways you can link bib records in one of these
ways:
• Manually add a link tag to the record. After you add the tag, you can enter text
to match an existing tag or use Browse Link to find the record you want to link
to. If your system administrator has set up Browse Link, you can use it to get
fast access to linkable records in your database. (For instructions, see “Setting
Up Browse Link” in the Cataloging Setup Guide.) Horizon creates the link when
you leave the field.
• Use an import source. An import source determines how Horizon handles
records as you import them. This linking method uses the logic of link match
points inside an import source to automate bib-to-bib linking. (For more
information, see Understanding Import Sources on page 234.) You choose an
import source for bib-to-bib linking in the Customize Editor.
• Copy a linked bib record. When you want to link several records already
linked to one record, you can copy and edit each record, keeping the links the
same. (For instructions, see Copying a Bib Record on page 96.)
If you have multiple records open, you can use the linking techniques already
described. You can also use these methods:
