Cataloging and Technical Services Staff:
Based on surveys sent to SWAN Member Libraries and analysis completed by the DUX Team, we
are moving forward with some improvements to Enterprise facets in order to enhance the
search experience. The number of format facets will be increased in order to provide
granularity. The new format facets will be populated from a local 590 tag in the
bibliographic record. The new format facets are as follows:
ART
AUDIOBOOK CASSETTE
AUDIOBOOK CD
BLU-RAY
BOOK (default) no 590 required
BRAILLE
CD
CD MP3
COMPUTER SOFTWARE
DEVICE
DVD
EQUIPMENT
EREADER
GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT
INTERNET RESOURCES
KIT
LARGE PRINT
MAGAZINES AND JOURNALS
MICROFILM AND MICROFICHE
MISCELLANEOUS
NEWSPAPERS
OTHER AUDIO
OTHER VIDEO
PLAYAWAY
SHEET MUSIC
SPECIAL COLLECTION
TOOLS AND THINGS
TOYS AND GAMES
VIDEO GAME
A future memo will detail all of the enhancements to Enterprise. The goal of this
communication is to give libraries time to make adjustments to your workflow/cataloging
practices and begin adding this 590 to the bibliographic record for any format other than
a standard print book. Standard print book is the default and will not require a 590
field. You may begin this new practice effective immediately but please adopt this
practice by May 23rd in preparation for SirsiDynix to begin data work later that week.
This new 590 field will be entered in Pre-Cats and Full MARC records.
I have attached a document with examples for your reference. Please note that these 590
formats are to be entered in ALL CAPS. I will adjust the BRIEF record template to include
a 590 reminder field. Please enter the appropriate format or delete the 590 field for a
standard print book.
Thank you for your assistance with this project.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
