How do I create a shareable list in the staff client?

May 24, 2017

The MARC 590 Tag can be used to create shareable lists

1. When adding new items to the catalogue add a 590 tag to the MARC record.

MARC Tag = 590

$a = ListName

$5 = LIBRARYSHORTCODE

It’s important to use unique terms for $a to avoid extracting unwanted records. Avoid all meaningful words. Example use “J17AF” for June Adult Fiction

2. In the OPAC complete an Expert Search to find the list URL

Tag = 590

Subfield = a

Value = ListName

Search Library = Your Library

3. Copy the URL to post on your website

Example = MPL British Columbia
