NewGenLib Open Source

Once a record is imported, this is edited using either the MARC-21 template or the General template. How this is done with the General template is shown below.

The template shown above has several tabbed pages for Added Entry, Subject Headings, Notes, Edition, Imprint, etc. Clicking on any of these tabs opens that page and the data shown can be edited or new data entered. Observe also that there is a tab for Attachments. When this is clicked a dialog opens that allows: 1. a digital resource (full text of document, contents page image, etc., to be attached) or 2. a URL may be specified that contains related resources, e.g., a conference
proceedings web site that contains the abstracts of papers being described.
During data entry/editing it is possible to invoke the appropriate 'Authority file' to ensure consistency. For instance, when entering or editing a personal name, the entry an be selected from the Personal Name Authority file.
