Available Cataloguing defaults

Field	Description
RDA Cataloguing Rules in Use	Select Yes if you are using RDA in OLIB.
Default MARC21 Encoding	When cataloguing a new title in OLIB this will be the default Encoding Level in MARC Leader. The cataloguer can change at individual title level if required.
No. of Places of Publication To Suggest	This limits the number of places listed in Places rapid entry.
No. of Publishers To Suggest	This limits the number of publishers listed in Publication rapid entry.
Prevent Generation of Author Initials	Yes/No. During OLSTF and MARC imports, whether or not the author initials should be generated in the author (Names) authority record.
Default Cataloguing Language	The system wide language to use for cataloguing. OLIB displays this as each record is created, unless you specify otherwise in Title details. Language of Cataloguing is displayed on the MARC details sheet. This can also be specified on the Location record, for the Cataloguer's location. If there is a different default at the cataloguing users’ location, then the value at location level will be used instead. Language of Cataloguing is assigned to MARC records that do not have their own cataloguing language during export (040 $b) This is an important value to specify for data sync / WorldCat matching. It is used in generating the example sort results for title sorting rules examples, e.g. when deciding which number words to unspell Changing OLIB Web location (“PC Location”) will use the location default in preference to the OLIB Defaults value (if specified)
Check for Duplicate Subjects	Whether duplicate Subjects should only be flagged as duplicate within a subject type – or whether it should apply across subject types.
Include Type in Duplicate Subject Match
Ignore Scheme in Duplicate Class Match	If you create a new Classmark in OLIB the database is now automatically checked to see if the Classmark already exists. If this flag is set to Yes then the checking for duplicates ignores the classification scheme. If set to No then it only considers Classmarks to be duplicated if they are from the same scheme.
Automatically Add Broader Terms	Set this flag to Yes if you want OLIB to automatically assign a subject’s broader terms to a Title record when you assign the subject itself to the Title.
Default Alt. Title Type	Allows a default Alternative Title type to be set – e.g. Uniform Title, Abbreviated Title, etc.
Auto Generate Shelfmarks	Are Shelfmarks to be automatically generated when Copies are created by combining the Classmark and the first three letters of the first author’s surname (e.g. 823 DIC).
Generate Barcodes	A specialised implementation setting that auto-generates barcodes in sequence. Used on conjunction with Create Close Copy method.
Show Equivalent ISBN	OLIB automatically creates the 13 digit ISBN when you add the 10 digit ISBN to a Title and vice versa. Both ISBN’s can be displayed on the Title record if this value is set to Yes.
Automatically authorise on Accession?	If yes, when an accession date is assigned to a title, the title will be Authorised during Daystart.
Statistics to record	OLIB Reports can be used to output this data. Choose from: Title Deletions only (for OAI Server) Add, Change, Remove on Copies only Add, Change, Remove on Titles only Add, Change, Remove on Titles and Copies only
Auto. Delete Titles Reverse Links? Auto. Delete Subjects Reverse Links? Auto. Delete Authors Reverse Links?	Standard setting is Yes: OLIB creates a 'forward' and 'reverse' link when a cross reference is created and automatically deletes both links whenever you remove one. If you set any of these fields to No this automatic deletion does not occur and you will have to remove links manually as shown in Subjects and Names Cross Referencing.
Warn before delete last copy of a title?	If this is set to Yes, the cataloguer will be prompted whether they want to delete the last copy of a title. If set to No, there is no warning and copy deletion proceeds.
Auto delete title when last copy deleted?	To configure OLIB to automatically delete the title record if its last copy is deleted, set this to Yes. This will cause the title record to be added to the Titles for Auto-Deletion folder. If you are using the Delete link or the Delete copy with checks action to delete the copy, OLIB responds with a message to indicate the copy/ies were added to the Auto-deletion folder. To configure OLIB to not delete the title record if its last copy is deleted, set the Auto. delete title when last copy deleted? field to No. See also below Ask to delete title when last copy is deleted? When deleting copies data, Deleting a title after deleting the last copy is also related.
Ask to delete title when last copy is deleted?	To configure OLIB so that, when the last copy of a title is deleted, the operator is asked whether they want to delete the title record as well, leave the Auto. delete title when last copy deleted? field above blank and set Ask to delete title when last copy is deleted? to Yes. When the last copy is deleted, OLIB responds - All copies of this title have been deleted. Do you want to delete the title as well? If you respond Yes, the Title will be added to the Auto-deletion folder. Note: if both Auto. delete title when last copy deleted? and Ask to delete title when last copy is deleted? are left blank, the title record will not be added to the Titles For Auto-Deletion folder when the last copy is deleted.
