Marc Prompts  {LCAC-4}


The system makes provision for a “prompted” facility for the entering of bibliographic records under option {LCAO-1}.  The definition of the prompts to be used there is entered here.  Each record in this option will request the user to enter the contents of a particular subfield. 


Fields in the option:

Block 1: Marc Cataloguing Prompts

Field Type
&
Length
Description
Tag N3 A valid field number as defined under option {LCAC-2}.
Subfield  A1 A valid combination of field and sub-field, as defined under option {LCAC-3}.
Description A40 The text of the prompt, which will be displayed when the user is requested to enter the information for this sub-field.  The text can differ from the name as defined in the MARC structure.
