[Evergreen-general] [External] Re: New Highlighting in Search Results in Staff Catalog

Tue Nov 21 14:30:46 EST 2023

Hi Samantha,

"transcendant" is an attribute of the bibliographic source. Bibs with a
"transcendant" source display in the opac even if there are no copies
attached.

Here is a link to the documentation with some information on
"transcendant" bib sources:

https://docs.evergreen-ils.org/docs/latest/cataloging/cataloging_electronic_resources.html#_using_transcendant_bib_sources_for_electronic_resources

Hope this helps!

Michele
