An example of changing Subject Headings with bulk edit would be:
- “CARS” has been given to several books and the decision has been made to change this on all resources to the SCIS valid “MOTOR CARS” heading.
- “CARS” needs to be changed to “MOTOR CARS” on all resources.
Steps for bulk edit of Subjects… (ALWAYS backup before doing ANY bulk Update)
- Load the LibCode Suite and go into Utilities then go into Update.
- Select Subjects from the dropdown menu and then Update…
- If backup HAS been done click Function Key to pass backup warning.
- Enter first few letters of OLD subject into Replace box then click “…” button at the end of the line to select heading from a list.
- Enter the first few letters of the NEW subject into the WITH box and click the “…” button at the end of that line to select the new heading from a list.
- Click Replace button at the top of the screen and then check number of records to be changed. If you are happy with the number click Yes to complete the bulk change.
These steps would change the CARS heading to MOTOR CARS on all resources (even if there are thousands of records to be changed).
