Discover how to validate bibliographic records from the Text view editor in WorldShare Record Manager.

Overview

Para el texto Ver los registros bibliográficos de WorldCat:

  • Automatic validation occurs after you take certain actions on Text View WorldCat bibliographic records.    
  • Manual validation occurs when you select Validate from the Record drop-down menu. Manual validation checks the quality of bibliographic records and prevents records with errors from being added to or replaced in WorldCat. You should validate a bibliographic record manually after you edit it.
     Note: After you validate a record manually, you cannot undo your changes.

Validar manualmente un registro bibliográfico de la vista de texto

  1. En el editor de la vista de texto, haga clic en Grabar.
  2. En el menú desplegable Registro, seleccione Validar.
    • If the record contains invalid elements (e.g., tags, indicators, or subfield codes) or invalid data (e.g., fixed-field codes), the system lists any error messages that identify the problems. Messages appear directly above the fields/elements to which they refer.
    • If the record contains an invalid character, the character will be highlighted to more easily identify it. If the record contains multiple invalid characters, only the first invalid character will be highlighted. After you remove the first invalid character and revalidate, the next invalid character will be highlighted.
    • A confirmation message appears that the record has been validated if no errors are present.
  3. Si hay varios errores de caracteres no válidos en un campo, corrija el primero del campo y repita el paso dos.
