Content transferred to a bibliographic derived record

Find out how content is transferred to a derived record in Connexion client.

Whether you are deriving a new bibliographic record or a new bibliographic constant data record, Connexion transfers the following content to the new record (unless you customize in Tools > Options > Derive Record):

  • MARC fields with tag numbers from 1xx to 8xx (x = any number)
  • Links to controlled headings

Connexion supplies the following defaults in the new record:

  • MARC field 040: Subfields a and c containing your OCLC institution code and a blank subfield b.

     Note: If you are online, the client supplies the institution symbol from your logon authorization. If you are offline, the symbol is supplied from client options in Tools > Options > General tab (required).

  • Contents of the MARC fixed field defaults to values appropriate for the type of record.
  • Default variable fields based on your cataloging profile:
    • Empty call number field appropriate for your profiled classification scheme. One of the following fields is inserted: 055, 070, 080, 086, 090, 092, or 096.
    • Field 049 containing you default holding library code.

       Note: If you are online, the client supplies the holding library code from your logon authorization. If you are offline, the code is supplied from client options in Tools > Options > General tab (required).

  • OCLC control number: the word NEW replaces the control number
  • Holdings data
  • Fixed field values
  • MARC fields with tag numbers less than 100
  • MARC fields with tag numbers 9xx (x = any number)
