This brief guide will explain a chart that shows a sample of how a MARC21 database can be configured, as well as a brief introductory searching guide. The indexing fields described in this document relate to the bibliographic data and does not address authority database indexing.

If you are looking for specific items you can use the item search engine in the staff client to find them.

  • Get there: Search > Go to item search

At the top of the advanced search page in the staff client you will see a link to 'Go to item search'

itemsearchlink


Clicking that link will open up a item specific search engine.
