Indexed and Searchable Fields of the MARC Record for Keyword Searching in Workflows*

 

Every record in the SirsiDynix Symphony database has standard entry tags. SirsiDynix Symphony allows one or more MARC entry tags to be represented with an index synonym name. The search can be limited to certain fields and entries within a bibliographic record without typing several entry tags. Search the General index by entering the search term followed by the keyword index synonym enclosed in braces, or curly brackets. SirsiDynix Symphony searches only the specified entries/fields represented by this abbreviated name.

 

Any searchable keyword index external/internal synonym can be entered.

See the following list of SirsiDynix Symphony equivalent search fields for keyword indexes. These tags are most effective when conducting a general index search.
