[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Showing online resources in the OPAC

[Dan Wells]

Hello Vicki,

There are two ways, actually.  First, you can set the record source to a "transcendant" source, which basically means "this record should show up everywhere (i.e. when searching any library)".  Details here: http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-admin:importing:bibrecords#making_electronic_resources_visible_in_the_catalogue

Second, if you need finer control, you can use a "Located URI".  I failed to find a good link for it, but what you do is add an 856 with first indicator 4, second indicator 0, and a $9 subfield with a value matching a the shortname of the library where you want this record to appear.
