+ | VALIDATION OPTIONS | ||
+ | |||
+ | This screen allows you to enable/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | All of the options on this page can be changed while a record is being reviewed or edited. When an option is changed while the program is running, as soon as the Options form is closed, the program reloads the validation tables and revalidates the record. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ENABLE VALIDATION | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option is checked by default. If this option is turned off no validation will take place (regardless of any validation tables that are loaded--see below). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Disabling this option could be useful if you want to run the program in Batch Mode and find only those records with a certain cataloging problem. By disabling validation, and creating a the Cataloging Check Set to only find one problem (or a set of related problems), you can create a narrowly focused report. | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE: This option cannot be saved--it automatically becomes checked each time the program starts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | STANDARD VALIDATION TABLES | ||
+ | |||
+ | Select the validation tables that you would like MARC Report to load when the program first runs, or whenever the program options are changed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The LC Tables are based on the information available from the Library of Congress MARC Home Page, on the web at http:// | ||
+ | The OCLC table is a custom product offered by TMQ which contains every OCLC coding decision that differs from MARC 21. This table is based on the OCLC Bibliographic documentation available on the web at http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE: If you save this screen without selecting an LC Table, you will receive a warning that 'No validation tables have been selected' | ||
+ | |||
+ | LOCAL VALIDATION DATA | ||
+ | |||
+ | Select this option if you have created a Local Validation Table and want it to be loaded each time the program runs. To edit or create a Local Validation Table, click the Edit Local Data button. This option is selected by default, but it has no effect until a Local Table is created. | ||

+ | VALIDATION FILTERS | ||
+ | |||
+ | This section allows you to quickly enable/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | IGNORE LEADER MARKS | ||
+ | |||
+ | This filter blocks out errors caused by control characters in the leader. Some vendors like to put these characters into leader bytes that catalogers do not usually look at. This option is disabled by default. | ||
+ | |||
+ | IGNORE OBSOLETE CODING | ||
+ | |||
+ | This filter suppresses messages about Obsolete Coding. In this option, ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | IGNORE OLD CODING | ||
+ | |||
+ | This filter suppresses messages about ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | IGNORE 09X TAGS | ||
+ | |||
+ | This filters prevents validation on tags used for local classification (090-099). This option is disabled by default. | ||
+ | |||
+ | IGNORE 049/852 TAGS | ||
+ | |||
+ | This filters prevents validation on tags used for local holdings. This option is enabled by default. | ||
+ | |||
+ | IGNORE 59X TAGS | ||
+ | |||
+ | This filters prevents validation on tags used for local notes (590-599). This option is disabled by default. | ||
+ | |||
+ | IGNORE 69X TAGS | ||
+ | |||
+ | This filters prevents validation on tags used for local subjects (690-699). This option is disabled by default. | ||
+ | |||
+ | IGNORE SUBFIELD $9 | ||
+ | |||
+ | This filter prevents validation of subfield $9 in any tag. This option is enabled by default. | ||
+ | |||
+ | IGNORE XX9 TAGS | ||
+ | |||
+ | This filters prevents validation on tags that end in the number ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | IGNORE X9X TAGS | ||
+ | |||
+ | This filters prevents validation on tags with a middle number of ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | IGNORE 9XX TAGS | ||
+ | |||
+ | This filters prevents validation on all local tags (900-999). This option is enabled by default. | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE: Some ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | APPLY FILTERS TO CATCHECKS | ||
+ | |||
+ | If selected this option will attempt to apply any other selected filters to the Cataloging Checks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For example, if the CatChecker finds an error in a 9XX tag, it will be reported, since the IGNORE 9XX TAGS option applies only to validation. But if the APPLY FILTERS TO CATCHECKS option is also selected, the error will be suppressed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | VALIDATE SUBJECTS | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is an experimental feature. If this option is selected, the program will attempt to validate the $a of subject headings in edit sessions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The processing used for this validation is as follows: the program contacts the TMQ server (www.marcofquality.com) with a list of subject headings in the record currently being viewed or edited. The server queries its database for the presence of these headings, and returns the result of each lookup. When the program receives the results, it then sets a checkbox (in the main record view) for each subject that was found. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At present, the following subjects sources are supported: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 650 I2 = 0 $a Validates against LCSH (as downloaded from id.loc.gov) | ||
+ | 650 I2 = 1 $a Validates against the above and the LC Children' | ||
+ | 650 I2 = 2 | ||
+ | 655 $2=gsafd | ||
+ | 655 $2=lcfgt | ||
+ | 655 $2=rbgenr | ||
+ | | ||
+ | NOTES | ||
+ | |||
+ | This feature is not active in Batch Mode. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This feature can be quickly turned on and off inside an Edit Session by clicking the large green checkbox on the bottom right of the navigation panel. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you like to quickly scroll through a file of records you should toggle this option off. The program will not advance to the next record until it receives the search results from the server for the current record, or until the search is interrupted (by clicking on the spinning time icon). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Re: LCSH, we validate only $a. Validating this subject source is problematic because of its design. There is no way to know if a given heading has an authority record or not. It would be much better if all possible valid subject headings were backed by authorities, | ||

+ | |||
+ | Re: MESH, we are able to provide a more comprehensive result, validating the $a and all $x subfields, with the exception of the MESH ' | ||
