Knowledge Base Collection 856 Field

 Knowledge Base Collection 856 Field settings apply to knowledge base collections.

WorldCat records include 856 fields and various URLs that are not accessible to your institution. For records from knowledge base collections, Collection Manger removes the URLs from WorldCat records and adds your library-specific links.

Titles are often available through more than one provider. If you have a title in multiple knowledge base collections, Collection Manager will deliver a single record for the knowledge base title and the record will have multiple URLs. By default, your library will receive updated records when titles are available through new providers and the relevant URLs will be added in those records. Likewise, your library will receive updated records when providers no longer offer titles and the relevant URLs will be removed in those records.

To see an examples of the 856 field in a records, see 856 field processing in records.

If your ILS requires a separate MARC record with a single URL for every instance of an electronic title, you can select collection-level settings to have the records for a collection delivered in a separate file and select a setting to isolate the file output from other collection activity. For more information, see the knowledge base collection-level Delivery File Output settings.

How to complete the Knowledge Base Collection 856 Field settings

By default, the Collection Manager interface will show subfield u and value KB URL. Thus, by default, records for knowledge base titles will have your library's URL in the 856$u. Edit the default settings if desired.

To add a subfield and a value (such as "Enter Free Form Text" or "Collection Custom Text") to 856 fields:

  1. Click the add icon (+) to add a field.
  2. Within Add Subfields, choose z or another subfield from the drop-down list.
  3. Select a value from the drop-down list. For example, select one of the following: 
    • Select Enter Free Form Text if you want the text of your choice to appear next to all of your 856 links. Once you select Enter Free Form Text, a text box will appear. In the text box, type any text you would like. For example, Click here for access.
    • Select Collection Custom Text if you want collection-specific text to appear next to 856 links in records from collections for which you have entered Custom Text. See Collection Custom Text for more information.
  4. If you would like to add another field, click the add icon (+).

After your records are output, you will see the subfield and text in records from knowledge base collections: 
=856 40$uhttp://www.LibraryID.eblib.com/patr...=123456$zClick here for access

WorldCat 856 Field
