[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] FAST/searchFAST Subject Headings (Cataloging Type Question)

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

In opac/parts/record/subjects.tt2, there is a line at the top of the 
file that indicates you're using the 650 MARC field for the subject links:

     subjects = [
         {
             label => l('Subject: '),
             xpath => '//*[@tag="600" or @tag="610" or @tag="611" or 
@tag="630" or @tag="650" or @tag="651"]'
         },

You can add indicators for that xpath if you want to limit the display 
to specific types of subject headings. For example, this is what's used 
at NOBLE to limit to LC and subject headings and LC headings for children:

     subjects = [
         {
             label => l('Subject: '),
             xpath => '//*[((@tag="600" or @tag="610" or @tag="611" or 
@tag="630" or @tag="650" or @tag="651") and (@ind2="0" or @ind2="1"))]'

I hope this helps!
Kathy
