Record Buckets ============== Introduction ------------ Record buckets are containers for MARC records. Once records are in a bucket, you can take various types of actions, including: * Editing all the records at once using the MARC Batch Editor. * Deleting all the records in the bucket. * Merging all the records in the bucket. * Downloading the MARC files for all records in the bucket, so you can edit them in another program like http://marcedit.reeset.net[MARCEdit]. Creating Record Buckets ----------------------- . Click on _Cataloging_ -> _Record Buckets_. . On the _Buckets_ menu, click _New Bucket_. . Give the bucket a name and (optionally) a description. Adding Records to a Bucket -------------------------- From the Record Bucket Interface ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . Click on _Cataloging_ -> _Record Buckets_. . On the _Buckets_ menu, choose the bucket that you'd like to add records to. . Go to the _Record Query_ tab. . Enter your query into the _Record Query_ box. . Select the records you would like to add. . On the _Actions_ menu, click _Add to Bucket_. .Advanced record queries **** The _Record Query_ tab allows some advanced search functionality through the use of search keys, which can be combined with one another. .Record Bucket search keys [options="header"] |=================== |Search key |Abbreviated version |Usage example |Description |author: |au: |au:Anzaldua |An author, creator, or contributor |available: | |available:yes |Limits to available items. There is no way to limit to _unavailable_ items |keyword: |kw: |kw:Schirmer |A keyword |lang: | |lang:Spanish |A language |series: |se: |se:avatar last airbender |A series title |site: | |site:LIB3 |The shortname of the library/system/consortium you'd like to search |subject: |su: |su:open source software |A subject |subject\|geographic: | |subject\|geographic:Uruguay |A geographic subject |title: |ti: |ti:Harry Potter |Title proper or alternate title |title\|proper: | |title\|proper:Harry Potter |Title proper taken from 245 |=================== You can combine these in the same query, e.g. `ti:borderlands au:anzaldua available:yes`. However -- with the exception of the _lang_ search key, you should not repeat the same search key twice. **** [TIP] You can use the same boolean operator symbols that are used in the OPAC (_||_ for boolean OR, _&&_ for boolean AND, and _-_ for boolean NOT).
