Using Cataloger's
Desktop to verify form subdivisions:
TIP 1:
Once you are in the SCM:SH infobase, divide the display into a BROWSE and
a DOCUMENT window.
HOW: Click on BROWSE tab at the bottom
left of the window.
TIP 2:
In the BROWSE window, locate the index entry FREE-FLOATING SUBDIVISIONS.
HOW: Look for SUBDIVISIONS in the
BROWSE window. The + indicates that SUBDIVISIONS has subdirectories.
Click on + to display the subdirectories. The subdirectory FREE-FLOATING
SUBDIVISIONS will display.
TIP 3:
Restrict query searching to FREE-FLOATING SUBDIVISIONS and SUBDIVISIONS
CONTROLLED BY PATTERN HEADINGS.
HOW: Click once in the box to the
left of FREE-FLOATING SUBDIVISIONS. This will automatically select
both FREE-FLOATING SUBDIVISIONS and SUBDIVISIONS CONTROLLED BY PATTERN
HEADINGS. The appearance of a check mark in the box indicates the
search will be restricted to the directory and all subdirectories below
it.
TIP 4:
With searching restricted to FFS and SCBPH, use the Advanced Query function
to search for the subdivision term.
HOW: Select the Document window by clicking
in it. Either click on the Advanced Query button (bottom left of
the the Desktop window) or press F2. Dialog box will appear.
Make sure CHECKED BRANCHES is "checked" (bottom left of advanced Query
dialog box). Type in the subdivision (not case sensitive). Enclose
phrase subdivisions in quotes. To ensure that you entered the subdivision
correctly, check to make sure you had a reasonable number of hits.
Click OK. You will be taken to the first "hit." To go to the
next hit, click the forward arrow (bottom/center of the window).
Use the reverse arrow if necessary.
TIP 5:
Always check the upper document window to see whether you are in GENERAL
free-floating or in PATTERN HEADINGS. Some form subdivisions can
only be used under certain PATTERN HEADINGS. Example: "Controversial
literature" is not a general free floating subdivision. It can only
be used under certain types of Religion pattern headings.
Authority records for some form and general
subdivisions may be found in the Orbis LTLC and RLIN SAF files.
