circulation types. Circulation Desk automatically assigns the Temporary
circulation type to temporary copies created during a checkout. You can also
define any one of the Circ Types as the default. Cataloging then automatically
assigns the default circulation type when adding or importing new copies to the
collection that do not have a circulation type defined in the import file.
Note:
You cannot delete a circulation type if it has copies assigned to it. To do
this, you must first change the circulation type of the affected copies. If you
have a PHD, you can do this by using Update Copies via PHD. For
information about updating copies with a PHD, see Using your PHD for
mass updates , " page 338.
How to add or edit circulation types
1. To add a circulation type, choose New in the Circ Types tab. To edit a
circulation type, select one from the list, and then choose Edit. The desired
dialog appears:
Note:
Once a circulation type is saved, you cannot edit its code.
2. Type a code and description that easily identifies the circulation type. When
you finish adding or editing a circulation type, choose Save.
Identifying call number locations in your MARC records
When you create a copy record, unless you replicate an existing copy, Cataloging
automatically retrieves the call number from the 900 tag in the copy's MARC
bibliographic record. This saves you time because you don't need to retype the
call number each time you create a new copy record.
System Setup allows you to customize Cataloging so that it looks for call
numbers in up to three tags and in up to five different subfields for each tag. You
will want to add other locations for the call numbers if the vendor of your MARC
records puts the call number in a tag other than the 900, or if you are doing your
own original cataloging and choose to put call numbers in another tag.
