9. Don’t try this at home!

10. Pseudo-Scoping Use Location Codes to Pre-limit Keyword Searches

12. /ssi/infolinkslocsearch.js Location: Law Library Only All Libraries Part 1: The Search Form

13. // Search InfoLinks and Limit to Locations //<!-- function searchinfolinks() { var searchtext = document.getElementById('searcharg').value; var searchsort = document.getElementById('sort').value; var searchloc = document.getElementById('b').value; var searchurl = "http://library.uark.edu/search/X?SEARCH=%28" + searchtext + "%29&SORT=" + searchsort + "&b=" + searchloc; window.location.href = searchurl; } // --> Part 2: The Javascript

15. Formats / Material Types

22. Adding Record Elements to Enhance Retrieval Arkansas Newspaper Project Do you have any newspapers published in _______ from the years _________?

23. Arkansas Newspaper Project Part of the United States Newspaper Program, funded by NEH Based at University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, 1988- 1994 Mission to catalog and microfilm newspapers found throughout the state

24. Arkansas Newspaper Project Another component was OCLC Union Listing LDR (now LHR) created for each participant for each holdings format Issue-specific notation USNP format A “SULOP” tape load generated “Library Has” notes in our catalog

25. OCLC Union List Record

26. Newspaper Record in Our Catalog “Lib Has” MARC 752

27. 752 Field Defined as “Added Entry-Hierarchical Place Name” Required in USNP records for Place of publication Area of coverage Multiple 752s when place of publication changes or when several counties or towns included in coverage We indexed in subjects and keywords

28. “Lib Has” MARC fields 860 and 866 Not indexed Could be used for data entry

29. We Needed a New Field! Local subject field 690 Already used for local collection names, local series, virtual bookplates, etc. Indexed in subjects and keywords Format selected was 690 |y 1930 Didn’t want to confuse with LCSH-type chronological subdivisions (|y 1931-1940) Easier for data entry (meaning fewer errors)

30. The Question—One or Multiple 690s?

31. New, Improved Record

32. Public Display Multiple 690s take up valuable “real estate” in WebOPAC, and they might be confusing to users The beauty of |y is that it’s not used in any other 690 fields We decided to suppress decades by inserting a line in the webpub.def file

33. The Project Used “Create Lists” to gather all the Arkansas newspapers (about 1,050) into a review file A library technician completed data entry of 690 fields in a 2-month period (November-December 2009) We excluded Newspaper records in aggregator databases Limited retention holdings Proofreading and building the search form took a couple more months

34. http://libinfo.uark.edu/periodicals/arkansasnewspapersearch.asp

36. Actual search terms: su:newspapers su:"United States Arkansas Washington" 1880

38. Maintenance Must remember to add decades when New titles are cataloged A new decade begins Procedures in place for this!

39. Future Plans
