Add see references to an existing authority
In This Topic
In this example we’ll add a see reference from “Accountancy” to “Accounting”.
- Do one of the following.
- From the Module Menu select Enquiry, Cataloguing and then Authority Search.
- From the Module Menu select Cataloguing, Search Pages and then Authority Search.
- From the Module Menu select Cataloguing, MARC, Authority Control and then Authority Search.
- Search and find the authority record you want. At the Full or MARC Display, click Edit Record to open the record in the Cataloguing module.
- Add a 450 field to the record. This is a “See from tracing -- topical term”. The §a subfield contains the text of the reference (“Accountancy”). There is no need to add a §w subfield as the see reference implies that it is a narrower term.
- Click the cursor anywhere in the bottom pane to show the Save buttons, and then click Save & Close.
The Full and MARC Display of the “Accounting” authority now displays the see from of “Accountancy”, for example:
You'll see the Full Display of the “Accountancy” authority if you search using Cataloguing > MARC > Authority Control > Authority Search, for example:
If you search using Cataloguing > Search Pages > Authority Search or using Enquiry > Cataloguing > Authority Search the only link is to the "Accounting" record, for example:
