Evaluative content information
| 856 fields |
OCLC has added links to additional content such as cover art, table of contents, summaries and author notes. These OCLC-created 856 fields include the following subfields:
- 856/u URL to additional content
- 856/i instructions in URL use
- 856/q data type such as "ASCII," "GIF," etc.
- 856/x "OCLC EC"
- 856/3 type of content such as "COVER ART," "TABLE OF CONTENTS," "MORE INFO," or "EXCERPTS"
|
| |
Internet-based access to evaluative content:
OCLC created URLs contained in 856/u fields in full MARC syntax and under the label "Access:" in full SUTRS syntax will allow internet-based access to evaluative content (cover art, summaries, excerpts, author information, etc.) These URLs can be cut and pasted, or programmatically entered, into any browser supported by FirstSearch in order to gain access to the information. The URLs will time out after 7 days so if continued access is desired another search to receive and updated URL will need to be executed. The 856/i field is the indicator for information on the URL; because not all 856/u fields are additional evaluative content, the 856/i should be checked to be certain the 856/u link is truly an OCLC sourced link. The 856/i field contains instructions regarding the URL. |
Indexes
What follows is a list of FirstSearch indexes and the combination of USE and STRUCTURE
attributes that can be used to access them.
- For any FirstSearch label where multiple USE attributes are listed all the attributes will provide the exact same search result sets.
- Any USE attribute that is not marked as a restrictor is available via the SCAN service.
- Restrictors are specially implemented indexes and are not available for scanning. Terms
for these must be ANDed with other terms to limit the size of the result set. See the
table provided for each restrictor to determine valid terms and their associated meaning.
