Browse Headings Display

The browse headings that display in browse search results for author, title, subject, or series are based on the first occurrence of the heading that was entered in the Polaris database. For example, a brief bibliographic record is created, and the heading displays in all uppercase letters because it is the first instance of that heading. Another example is an author browse heading that is missing accents. You can select which browse heading to display (when the count is greater than 1 and it is not a See or See Also heading). The selected heading is displayed for browse searching in the Find Tool and in the PAC.

To update a browse display heading:

1. Browse search in the Find Tool for a bibliographic record by title, author, subject, or series.

The browse search results appear.

2. Select the heading you want to update, right-click and choose Select display heading from the context menu.

The Select Heading Results dialog box appears.

3. Select the heading you want to display, and click the Update Browse Display button.

The heading display is updated both in the Find Tool and PAC browse search results.

4. (Optional) To update the bibliographic records that are linked to the unwanted heading, do the following:
   1. Select the heading that you do not want to display.
   2. Click Show Bib Records. A list box displays the bibliographic records that have this heading.
   3. Double-click on the bibliographic records to open them, change the records to match the preferred heading, and save them.
