Re: [IUG] Strangeness in index browse screens

["Kreymer, Oleg" <Oleg dot Kreymer at metmuseum dot org>]

Gail,

 

Tina's diagnosis is correct: it's formatted 505 notes.  Browse display
is affected by "normalized display", which is a convoluted issue,
partially addressed in the III Manual (Page # 101880).  Despite the
manual, however, normalization applies not only to call number, but to
title display as well.

Call the Helpdesk, and they will help you to sort it out.  Be aware,
though, that de-normalization may affect the display of your vernacular
records (if you have any).

Example of de-normalized display from our catalog:
http://library.metmuseum.org/search~S1/?searchtype=t&searcharg=renaissan
ce&searchscope=1&sortdropdown=-&SORT=D&extended=0&searchlimits=&searchor
igarg=trenaissance

 

Good luck.

*        Some of these are coming up in title browses because the phrase
you searched

*        for is contained in a formatted contents note title field
(505|t): i.e. the

*        chapter or song titles are formatted in MARC so they can be
searched by

*        title. Others, as you noted, can be explained by the title in a
970 (one of

*        III's TOC fields, I think, evidently title-browsable.)

 

*        In order to only get 245s in your title browse you'd have to do
the search

*        in Create Lists. Something like Bib 245 starts with Natural
History. Either

*        that or change all the title indexing in your OPAC....

 

*        Hope that helps.

*        When I do a title search in my catalog for "natural history"
the results

*        come back with the first line labeled "The Cambridge History Of

*        Eighteenth-Century Philosophy"  and having 24 entries.  The
following

*        entries are titles which begin with "natural history" but have
additional

*        words in the title.  When you click on "The Cambridge History
Of

*        Eighteenth-Century Philosophy" you get a list of the titles we
have that are

*        "natural history."  They all have the title of "natural
history" either from

*        a 245 or 970 field

 

*        How do I get the index browse screen to display the title
"Natural history"

*        instead of the title of the first record in the list??

 

*        The same problem occurs with the the title Jet.
