Unicorn Record Structure
Unicorn uses a three-level holdings structure, composed of a bibliographic record, one
or more call number records, and one or more item records. This structure is often
displayed in what is referred to as a “tree” view.
Title Level
Information
Call Number
Level
Information
Item Level
Information
At the top of the tree is the bibliographic record, in this case Spiders in the hairdo:
modern urban legends by David Holt.
Attached to the tree are one or more call number records. In the above graphic, you
can see two call number records for Fairview, one for Bergenfield, one for Carlstadt,
one for Cliffside Park, and one for Closter. Every change in library requires a new call
number record. Also, to have copies with different call numbers in the same library
requires different call number records. For example, Fairview has some copies with a
call number of JFIC HOLT, and some copies with a call number of YA FIC HOLT.
Because of these two different call numbers, they must have two call number records.
Attached to each call number record is one or more copies. For example, for the
Fairview call number record, JFIC HOLT, the item 39116090056549 is attached. For
the Carlstadt call number record J 398.2 HOL, there are two items attached,
39129050119819 and 39129050119827.
All copies attached to a single call number record have the same call number and the
same library.
If we are to take the “tree” metaphor literally, one might view the bibliographic record as
the trunk of the tree, the call number records as the branches, and the items as the
leaves.
201
Item Linking Group
This group of wizards allows you to add new items to the catalog and maintain existing
items.
Add Brief Title – Add items to the catalog before a full cataloging record is
available.
Call Number and Item Maintenance – Add and edit items and call numbers.
Modify Items Globally – Edit item attributes in bulk by scanning barcodes.
202
Add Brief Title wizard
The Add Brief Title wizard allows you to add items to the catalog for which no MARC
record exists in the database.
Click on the icon for the Add Brief Title wizard. The following screen will appear.
Please be patient, as this screen may take some time to appear when first accessed.
Type Here
203
The Title Info portion of the screen has blanks for several pieces of information. On the
left of each line is a label (i.e., ISBN, LCCN, etc.). On each line, there are three
dropdown boxes. You can safely ignore these. The rightmost field on each line is the
blank where you should type the requested information.
Fill in the Title Info are to the best of your ability.
-
ISBN – Enter the ten-digit ISBN, without any punctuation. If the item has no
ISBN, enter 9999999999. Take the ISBN from the following sources, in order of
preference:
1. Back cover near UPC (barcode)
2. Title page verso
-
ISSN – Enter the 8 digit ISSN, including punctuation (e.g., 0040-781X). Note that
some items may have both an ISBN and an ISSN. If so, enter both. Take the
ISSN from the following sources, in order of preference:
1. Back cover near UPC (barcode)
2. Title page verso
-
LCCN – Enter the Library of Congress Control Number. Take this from the title
page verso.
-
Personal Author – Enter the author’s name, if known, in the format, “Lastname,
Firstname” (without quotes).
-
Title – Enter the title, preceded by the uppercase letters QT (for Quick Title). For
example, “QT Gone with the wind”.
-
Publication Info – Enter the publisher and the year of publication. The preferred
format includes the city as well, i.e., “New York: Random House, 2004.” Take
the date from the following sources, in order of preference:
1. Title page
2. Title page verso
3. If copyright date is different, also give the most recent copyright date.
-
Physical Descrip – Enter the pagination. Give the page number of the last
numbered page. Also, if front matter is paginated differently (such as lowercase
Roman numerals), include that information (e.g., “ix, 593”).
204
-
Series Title – Enter the name of the series, if this book is part of a series. Also
include the number of the item in the series, if it is numbered. Take the series
from the following sources, in order of preference:
1. Title page
2. Title page verso
3. Half-title page
4. Front or back cover
5. Any other page in the item.
-
Reviewed/Cited in – Enter the title of the review source, as well as the date of the
issue in which the review appeared.
-
Associated Materials – Enter any physically separate pieces that are an integral
part of the item, such as CD-ROMs, Computer disks, etc. Include the number of
such items (2 CD-ROMs; 5 Computer Disks) and the size, if significant.
Next, fill in the Call number and copy info area, except for the Item ID field.
-
New call number – Type the item’s call number.
Library – Verify that this is correct. If it does not default to your library, send
email to unicorn@bccls.org to get this corrected.
Item type – Select the appropriate item type from the dropdown list.
Home location – Verify that this is CATALOGING. To ensure proper processing
of this item, do not change it.
Item cat1 – Assign an item category 1 to this item, if desired.
Verify all of the information on the screen. Then, scan the item’s barcode into the Item
ID field. This will save the record.
If you need to make additional changes, click the Make More Changes button. Note
that once you leave this screen, you will be unable to make further changes to the
information in the Title info portion of the screen.
Click Add Another Title to begin adding another brief title, or click Close to close the
wizard.
205
Uncataloged Items
Use the Add Brief Title helper to create uncataloged items. Uncataloged items will not
display in the Web2 catalog, although they will be searchable via keyword searches in
the Workflows client.
The procedure for creating an uncataloged item is similar to the procedure for adding a
Quick Title as discussed previously. The differences are:
-
You only need to fill in the ISBN, Author, and Title information. You may fill in
other fields if desired.
Preface the title with UC rather than QT.
Change the Home location from CATALOGING to the appropriate location in
your library.
Circulating periodicals should not be linked as uncataloged items. Please refer to the
section Linking Circulating Periodicals for more information.
206
Call Number and Item Maintenance
Use the Call Number and Item Maintenance wizard to add new items to the catalog
and to modify existing items. After clicking on the wizard’s icon, you will see the
following window.
This is the properties page for the Call Number and Item Maintenance wizard. It
allows you to set defaults for this session. When you exit Workflows, if you have made
any changes, you will be prompted to save them.
You can use the Item required default values area to set the default values for the
Item Type, Home Location, Permanent Flag, Circulate Flag, and Shadow flag. You can
use the Item optional default values to set Price, and Item Category 1. These fields
will be defined later. (Note that the above screen shot has been scrolled to the bottom
of the page.)
Click OK when you have made the appropriate changes.
207
An item search window will appear.
Search for the title to which you wish to add copies or the item you wish to modify.
For new items, one of the most useful searches is for ISBN. ISBN searches are
General Keyword searches, which is the default for this search window. Type the tendigit ISBN into the Search for box, and then click Search.
To search for existing items, the best search is the Item ID search. Select Item ID from
the Index box, type the barcode into the Search for box, and then click Search. You
can also scan the barcode, which clicks Search for you.
You may use any search strategy you find useful to retrieve the desired title. For more
information on searching, see the Item Search and Display section of the training
manual.
208
If there are multiple results from the search, you will get a hitlist.
Hitlist
In the hitlist, click on the title you wish to modify, and then click the Modify button.
If your search only returns one title, you will skip this step and go directly to the next
screen.
209
After clicking Modify, you will see the following.
Your library’s holdings should display as the first group in the tree view pane, but the
highlighted copy will be the first copy added to the system, no matter which library
added it. It is therefore very important to scroll to the top of the list and highlight one of
your own copies before making any changes.
210
Editing Existing Items
After clicking on an item in the tree view pane, that item’s details will display on the right
side of the screen.
The Item Information box contains fields which define how the item circulates, where it
is kept in the library, and other statistical information.
-
-
Item ID – The barcode of the item. Remember, this can also be changed via the
Change Item ID wizard and helper.
Copy number – The system assigned copy number. Do not change this value.
Type – The Item Type of the record determines how it circulates. Circulation
statistics are also broken down by item type. See Unicorn Item Types in the
Appendices in this section of the manual for a full listing of all item types
available for use. The drop-down list contains some item types that are not on
the list in the Appendix (such as BOOK). DO NOT USE item types that are not
listed in the Appendix.
Item Library – The library which owns the item. Except for rotating collections,
there is generally no need to change this field.
Home location – The location of the item, such as Adult Fiction (ADULTFIC) or
Juvenile Media (J_MEDIA). Circulation statistics are broken down by location.
211
-
-
-
-
-
Current location – This is not an editable field. If you change the Home location,
the Current location will be updated when you save.
Item category 1 – This is a statistical category to help differentiate different
materials sharing the same item type. See Unicorn Item Category 1 Values in
the Appendices of this section for more information on item category 1 choices.
Item category 2 – This is only used for BCCLS rotating collections. Do not
change.
Media Desk – This is used for the Materials Booking module, which BCCLS does
not use. Leave this field blank.
Number of pieces – This field allows you to specify the number of pieces in a
multi-piece item, such as an audio book. If this number is greater than one, an
alert will pop up at checkout and checkin notifying circulation personnel of the
number of pieces. (See the Checkout and Discharge/Checkin wizards for
more information.)
Total charges – The total number of times this item has circulated since it was
added to the catalog. You will generally not need to edit this field.
Price – The replacement price of the item. If this is left at zero, Unicorn will use
the policy defined unit price for this item type to generate bills for lost materials.
Permanent – When checked, indicates that this is a permanent part of the
collection. This field has no effect on circulation, but can be used for reporting.
Generally, this should be left checked.
Circulate – This field alters the way an item circulates, making a normally
circulating item non-circulating. Generally, this field should be left checked, and
checkout behavior should be changed by modifying the item type.
Shadow item – When checked, the item will not display in the Web2 catalog.
In the Extended information area, you can add various kinds of notes to the item. At
present staff are only able to see these notes in Item Search and Display and in this
wizard. PUBLIC notes are also able to be displayed in the OPAC, but, at this time,
BCCLS has not implemented this feature. At some point in the future, Sirsi plans to
implement the CIRCNOTE type as a pop up window during circulation operations.
After making the necessary changes, click the Save button to save them. You may
then click on another item in tree view pane to edit that item, click on Search to search
for a different title to modify, or click on Close to close the wizard.
212
Editing an Existing Call Number
To edit an existing call number, click on that call number in the tree view pane. You will
see the following on the right side of the screen.
To edit the call number, click in the Call number field and make any necessary
changes. Note that editing the call number will change the call number for all copies
attached to the current call number record.
Class scheme should remain as DEWEY. This determines how call numbers sort.
Call library should be your library. If it is not, you are editing the wrong library’s call
number record.
You can check Shadow call number to hide all copies attached to this call number
record from displaying in the Web2 catalog.
After making the necessary changes, click the Save button to save them.
213
Do I Add a Call Number or a Copy?
One of the most difficult decisions in linking in Unicorn is whether to create a new call
number record or to add a copy to an existing call number record.
First, if your library has no copies of this item, you must create a new call number
record. See the section Adding a Call Number and a Copy for more details.
If you are adding an additional copy of an item for which your library already has a copy
linked to the correct bibliographic record, and if the new copy will have the same call
number as the existing copy, you can add a copy to the existing call number record.
See Adding a Copy to an Existing Call Number for more details.
If you are adding an additional copy of an item already linked to the correct bibliographic
record, but that new copy will have a different call number, you will need to create a
new call number record. See the section Adding a Call Number and a Copy for more
details.
Does our library
have a copy?
No
Add a call number.
(See the Adding a Call
Number and a Copy
section for details.)
Yes
Is the call
number for this
copy the same
as for an
existing copy?
No
Add a copy.
(See the Adding a Copy
to an Existing Call
Number section for
details.)
Yes
214
Adding a Call Number and a Copy
Adding call numbers and copies is accomplished via the Call Number and Item
Maintenance wizard. As discussed previously, you will need to set the properties page
to reflect the correct default settings for this linking session. Then, search for the
bibliographic record to which you wish to link. If necessary, select the correct title from
the hitlist and click the Modify button. You will see the following screen.
From the tree pane, you can see that only one library (Ridgewood) has holdings
attached to this bibliographic record. In order for any other library to attach its holdings
to this record, the linker must create a call number record. (If Ridgewood wishes to add
an additional copy with the same call number as its existing copies, it would only need
to add a copy, as described in the Adding a Copy to an Existing Call Number
section, below.)
215
Click the Add Call Number button. The following dialog box will appear.
The library displayed should default to your library. If it does not, please email
unicorn@bccls.org to correct this.
Click OK.
A new call number will appear for your library in the tree view pane (Allendale in the
above screen shot). At this point, do not be concerned if the call number displayed is
not the call number you wish to use. You will have the opportunity to correct the call
number after entering item information.
Fill in the Item information area on the right side of the screen. All of these fields are
described in the Editing Existing Items section of this document.
After making any necessary changes and inputting the Item’s ID (barcode number),
click the Save button. (Note that scanning an item’s barcode will not automatically save
the item.)
216
To change the call number, click on the call number for your library in the tree view
pane. This will change the display to the following.
217
Change the call number. The new call number will display in uppercase letters.
Click Save.
218
After clicking Save, the tree view will update to reflect the new call number.
You have now successfully entered a call number record with an attached item. If you
wish to add more copies with the same call number, see the section Adding a Copy to
an Existing Call Number.
If your library wishes to add copies with a different call number (such as HI DEMAND
FIC STEEL), use the procedure discussed in this section to add an additional call
number.
219
Adding a Copy to an Existing Call Number
Adding copies is accomplished via the Call Number and Item Maintenance wizard. As
discussed previously, you will need to set the properties page to reflect the correct
default settings for this linking session. Then, search for the bibliographic record to
which you wish to link. If necessary, select the correct title from the hitlist and click the
Modify button. You will see the following screen.
220
Click on the call number to which you wish to add items. Verify that this call number is
for your library. If your library has no call numbers attached, see the previous section,
Adding a Call Number and a Copy, for instructions on how to proceed.
After clicking on the call number, click the Add Item button.
221
You will see the following screen. Note that for the new copy, the item information
displayed in the tree view is incomplete, as it is lacking a barcode number.
Fill in the Item information area on the right side of the screen. All of these fields are
described in the Editing Existing Items section of this document.
After making any necessary changes and inputting the Item’s ID (barcode number),
click the Save button. (Note that scanning an item’s barcode will not automatically save
the item.)
222
After saving, you will see the following.
Note that the tree view pane shows updated information for the item added.
To add more copies to the current call number, click the Add Item button again. If you
need to add a copy with a different call number, see the Adding a Call Number and a
Copy section of this document.
223
Linking Circulating Periodicals
Each library will have a bibliographic record with the title of “LIBR Current Periodicals”
(e.g., ALDL Current Periodicals, WYCK Current Periodicals).
The library will create a call number record for each periodical title that it circulates
attached to the above bibliographic record. The call number of this call number record
should be the title of the periodical (e.g., Better Homes and Gardens, Good
Housekeeping). For weekly periodicals, a new call number record should be created for
each year (e.g., People 2005, Sports Illustrated 2004).
Create a copy record for each circulating issue. Set both the Item type and Home
location to PERIODICAL. In the STAFF note field (in the extended information area of
the screen), make note of the date and issue number.
Issue information
224
Modify Items Globally wizard
This wizard allows you to change the Item Type, Location, Item Category, Library,
Shadow status, Circulate flag, and Price of items by scanning each item’s barcode.
After clicking on the Modify Items Globally wizard icon, you will see the following
screen.
For each value you wish to change, select the new value from the appropriate
dropdown box. The default for all items is “Will not be modified,” which will leave the
current settings in the item unchanged.
225
Some examples of when to use this wizard include, but are not limited to:
- Changing the Item type to move an item from the new book collection to the
regular collection, or correcting a large number of items linked to an incorrect
item type.
- Changing the Home location to move items from juvenile and adult collections
into a new young adult collection.
- Changing Item category 1 to assign categories to items which previously had no
assigned Item category 1 value, such as for world language collections or ESL
materials.
- Changing Shadowed to make items visible or invisible to the public via Web2,
such as making embargoed books, linked as shadowed, visible on the release
date.
- Changing Circulate to make items previously marked as unable to circulate
available for circulation, such as correcting the linking error of using this flag to
make items non-circulating.
- Changing Price to update the price on the item record, including setting the price
to zero so that Unicorn will use the default price policy to calculate bills for lost
materials. For example, until recently unabridged audio books on CD had no
default price, and were linked at cost. Now that a default price has been set, you
may use this wizard to set the item price on those items to zero, so that they will
use the default price.
226
After you have selected the appropriate value for the field or fields you wish to change,
scan each item’s barcode into the Item ID field. In the screen shot below, we are
changing the Item type to BK_LP (Large Print Book).
The middle of the screen is a list of all items that have been scanned. The bottom will
display the details of the selected item from the middle.
There are three helpers in this wizard.
Change Item ID – Use this helper to change an item’s barcode.
Print – Use this helper to print out a list of the items changed.
Print Preview – Use this helper to see the list the Print helper will generate.
227
Withdrawing Items
Use the Modify Items Globally wizard to mark items as withdrawn from the collection.
Marking an item as withdrawn will suppress it from displaying in the Web2 catalog and
will flag it for deletion from the system at a later date.
To mark items as withdrawn, use the Modify Items Globally wizard to change the
home location to DISCARD.
Scan each item being withdrawn.
228
As each item is scanned it will be displayed in the list in the middle of the window.
If you have withdrawn an item in error, you can return it to the collection by changing its
home location from DISCARD to the appropriate shelf location. You may use either the
Modify Items Globally wizard or the Call Number and Item Maintenance wizard to do
this.
