Staff (MARC) View: Help

The Staff View display provides the fullest possible view of the catalog record for all materials in Orbis. Consult the Long View display for a thoroughly labeled display of bibliographic information, which includes almost every field in the catalog record, but not all of them. Choose the Brief View display for the most basic information about the work. Brief View and Long View displays include the item's library location code and call number by which materials must be located.

The Staff View is mainly used by library staff.

SEARCH, NAVIGATION, and OUTPUT INFORMATION:

 Several lines of information relating to the search are displayed in Staff View:

• Search Results:

A line identifies the currently displayed catalog record number within the total search set (e.g., Displaying 2 of 25 records, Displaying 1 of 10,000 records).

• A search in Orbis never results in more than 10,000 catalog records, even when more than 10,000 records match the search. If the results set is truncated at 10,000, a warning message appears in the Titles List and Search Results List displays.
• Subject, Author and Call Number searches are set to "browse" Orbis for the search term entered and all terms following in alphabetical order. Since this method does not create a distinct record set, the number of search results on each page always states: Displaying 1 through 50 of 50 records. This does not mean that only 50 records match your search criteria. You can browse forward and backward through this list using the  and  buttons.
• Navigation Icons:

If a search retrieves multiple catalog records, it is possible to page back and forward through the list, one record at a time, using the  and  buttons.
• Print, Save or E-mail

Below the display of the catalog record information is a table which offers Save Options. For more information consult the help screen for Print, Save or E-mail. The format of the record printed/saved/e-mailed is not the same as the view on the screen. Use the Print Screen browser button if you want to capture all of the information in this view.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION:

The following information will display if present in the catalog record. Your search terms are highlighted within the record display.

• Relevance:

A record retrieved by the Ranked Keyword search method displays a relevance indicator before the bibliographic information.         is the most relevant record.
• System Control Number:

001 is the field for the Voyager ID; 035 may be either RLIN, OCLC or the NOTIS ID.
• MARC Display:

A coded MARC record is displayed using numerically tagged fields and alphabetically tagged subfields. All the data in the record may be retrieved using a Keyword search (GKEY in the Advanced Keyword search method).
• The MARC fields may include the date and time of latest cataloging transaction (005 field), the control field for special aspects of the material when it has multiple characteristics (006), the physical description fixed field (007), and the fixed-length data elements (008). Field 008 supplies coded information about the record as a whole and about special bibliographical aspects of the material cataloged. 
• Locally defined fields that are not displayed in any other Orbis view include the local processing field (906), local selection/retention field (925), local tracking field (955), record source or project history field (985) and preprocessing location/conversion field (991). 
• The fields are displayed in MARC 21 sort order, except that fields 906, 925, and 955 display near the top of the record. 
• A full listing of MARC 21 Equivalents for RLIN-Specific Field Tags is available from RLG and also from the Library of Congress Network Development and MARC Standards Office.
