[DCRM-L] 773 title indexing

[Paulette Schwarting]

Hi Deborah!
 
We create a lot of analytic records here but they are not searchable by
the title in the opac.  We can search them in the cataloging module by
doing a specific search in the 773 field alone.  I suppose it is a
backdoor approach but is the only way I have figured out how to do it...

Is field 773 title-indexed in your opac? 

 

We have a number of printed books in our collections that are heavily
extra-illustrated and/or have numerous manuscripts tipped or bound in.
Our plan is to create analytic records for these added materials.
However, because of title indexing in the 773, it is nearly impossible
to find the record for the actual book. 

 

I'm interested in knowing whether anyone else has this problem, or
doesn't have it because you've found a way around it.

 

Thanks,

Deborah
