OPAC/Gateway
Configuration Team
Notes from the January 31, 2000 meeting
Attending: Lynn Brown, Karen Calhoun, Elaine Engst, Lance Heidig, Tom
Gale, Philip Herold, Fred Muratori, Pat Schafer, Noni Vidal, Ed Weissman
1) Record displays
Fred went over changes he has made to record displays. He has made two
displays equivalent as to the information included to the "brief"
and "long" displays in Notis. Fred made the 8xx series field
redirectable (i.e., a hot link which when selected results in a new search
for the series title.) We asked Fred to experiment by including the summary
note (MARC 520) in the "brief" display. We also asked Fred to
experiment by having the URL (856 tag) display directly under the title.
2) Headings lists and Scope note/References pages
Ed reported that he had asked Noni to change the text on the tabs "Headings"
and "Titles" to "Headings list" and "Titles list."
The Team approved these changes.
Ed described the options for configuring the headings list pages and showed
examples from LC, Penn, and Wisconsin. We agreed to change the label on
the "See also" and "Notes" buttons to "More info."
We also agreed to leave, for now, the column "Heading type."
On the Scope note page, we agreed to change "References for"
to "Information for." On the References page, we agreed to add
explanatory text to the terms "See references", "See also
references"and "Narrower Term" (Lance will review and edit
the text) and to eliminate the term "Broader term" since we
will not have any broader term references for now.
3) Title lists
Lynn began to explain title list page options. We'll continue with title
list configuration issues at our next meeting.
