Brief Citation Form
Command link: None
HTML document: briefcit.html
This form controls the display of a brief citation (bibliographic record information that displays on a record browse). If this file exists, and if the TABLEPARAM_BRIEFCIT Web option has been properly defined, the system uses this form rather than the default display. This form uses the following tokens:
NOTE
The content of this form is inserted in a table. All content and tokens must appear between opening <TR> and <TD> tags and closing </TD> and </TR> tags.
Token | Description | ||||||||||
<!--{fieldspec:[fieldspec]}-->
or <!--{linkfieldspec:[fieldspec]}--> |
Both versions of this token replace the [fieldspec] value with data located in the specified fields. The <!--{fieldspec:[fieldspec]}--> displays the fields as text, whereas the <!--{linkfieldspec:[fieldspec]}--> displays fields as a HTML hyperlink to the full record display for the bibliographic record associated with the full citation. The [fieldspec] can be specified with both fixed-length fields and variable-length fields.
<!--{fieldspec:Vbp260:a}-->
This will cause only subfield 'a' of the p260 field to display. If the variable-length field specified does not exist in the record, no data displays to the user. To specify fields, see Field Specification Formatting. There are four special variable-length field spec tags used to control which fields are included in the display:
For example: <!--{linkfieldspec:VbT}--> In some record browse entries the indexed title differs from the "best" title. The T option enables the Brief Citation to include both the indexed t-tagged field enclosed in quotes and the "best" title as a hyperlink to the full record display |
||||||||||
<!--{entrynum}--> | Displays the number of the entry in the result set. This is always a numeric value. For "no hit" or "close by" browses, the entry number will not display. | ||||||||||
<!--{mark}--> |
If the ICON_BOOKCART Web option is defined, the system wraps each brief citation in <FORM> tags and this token displays the text or image defined in the ICON_BOOKCART Web option. Clicking on the image or text set in the Web option submits the form and adds the bibliographic record to the user's list of saved records
|
||||||||||
<--{ifmarked}--> |
If this token is present, the system checks whether or not the user has saved the indicated record. If so, the system interprets markup between this token and the associated <--{else}--> token. If not, the system interprets markup between the <--{else}--> token and the associated <!--{xif}--> token.
The system can mark items in a book cart by using a setup similar to the following: <tr class="marked"> <!--{else}--> <tr> <!--{xif}--> See Browse Display Classes for information on the .marked style class. |
||||||||||
<--{else}--> | Closes the logic for the <--{ifmarked}--> token if an item is in the Book Cart. | ||||||||||
<--{xif}--> | Closes the logic for the <--{ifmarked}--> token if an item is not in the Book Cart. | ||||||||||
<!--{bibloc}--> | The system replaces this token with the individual locations associated with the bibliographic record entry. | ||||||||||
<!--{itemcallno}--> | Displays the item call number. | ||||||||||
<!--{holdingsmsg}--> |
Displays the brief holdings message for the bibliographic record. The message varies depending upon the number of copies available and the number of locations with available copies. The message conditions are:
|
||||||||||
<!--{items}--> | Displays the summary table for items or volumes. | ||||||||||
<!--{holds}--> |
Displays a hold message depending on the following conditions:
Sierra includes items on order when counting the number of copies. |
||||||||||
<!--{ifbookable}--> | If your library has acquired Materials Booking, this token allows the behavior in the <!--{bookingmsg}--> to work. | ||||||||||
<!--{bookingmsg}--> | If your library has acquired Materials Booking, the system verifies that the bibliographic record has bookable copies. If so, the message "<x> copies bookable" appears, where <x> is the number of bookable copies. | ||||||||||
<!--{xif}--> | Closes the <!--{ifbookable}--> block. | ||||||||||
<!--{media}--> | Displays the material type as defined in the MEDIA Web option or, if it is defined, by the IMAGE_MATTYPEx image associated with that material type. If no material type is set in the MEDIA Web option, this token displays a (non-breaking space). | ||||||||||
<!--{ifhasbookjacket}--> | If you have a book jacket image associated with a bibliographic record, this token allows the behavior in the <!--{bookjacket}--> to work. | ||||||||||
<!--{bookjacket}--> | Displays the image located at the URL defined in the second element of the BIBIMAGE Web option. | ||||||||||
<!--{xif}--> | Closes the <!--{ifhasbookjacket}--> block. | ||||||||||
<--{mylists}--> | The system replaces this token with a link that uses the display properties defined by the value of the ICON_MYLISTS_BRIEF Web option. Clicking this link allows a user to add the record to a list using the My Lists functionality. | ||||||||||
<!--{reslink}--> |
If your library has acquired the Pathfinder Pro or WebBridge products,the system replaces this token with the value of the ICON_BUT_RESOURCELINK Web option. Clicking on this link takes the user to bibliographic level resource links. If you have not acquired Pathfinder Pro or WebBridge, the system replaces this token with the image defined in the WEBADDRESS Web option. Clicking on this image takes the user to the URL defined in the appropriate element of the WEBADDRESS Web option. If this Web option is not defined, the system replaces this token with a non-breaking space ( ). |
||||||||||
<!--{request}--> | If the REQUEST Web option is defined, the system displays the image or text defined in the ICON_REQUEST Web option. If the ICON_REQUEST Web option is not defined, the text link "Request" appears instead. Clicking on either the image or the text link initiates a request for the bibliographic record associated with the brief citation. | ||||||||||
<!--{year}--> | The system replaces this token with the publication year in the bibliographic record. The source of the publication year depends on your system setup (for example, the MARC 260 field). | ||||||||||
<!--{tofullrecord}--> | Displays the image or text defined in the ICON_FULLRECORD Web option. If this Web option is not defined, the text link "Full Record" displays instead. Clicking on either the image or the text link takes the user to the full record display of the bibliographic record associated with the brief citation. | ||||||||||
<!--{856link}--> |
The system replaces this token with the value of the link to any associated electronic resources, based on the following criteria:
Clicking on either the image or the text link takes the user to the URL defined in the u subfield in the first 865 MARC field found in the associated bibliographic record or a different MARC field URL source specified in the LOCALLINK_TAG Web option. If there are no 856 fields in the bibliographic record, the system displays a (non-breaking space). |
||||||||||
<!--{ifmulti856}--> | If this token is present, the system checks whether or not a bibliographic record contains multiple 856 fields or if a bibliographic record has fields defined in the LOCALLINK_TAG Web option. If so, the system interprets tokens and markup between this token and its closing <!--{xif}--> token. | ||||||||||
<!--{more856}--> | Displays the text link "More...". This hyperlink takes the user to the full record display of the bibliographic record associated with the brief citation. If the record does not contain multiple 856 fields, the WebPAC displays a (non-breaking space). | ||||||||||
<!--{xif}--> | Closes the <!--{ifmulti856}--> block. | ||||||||||
<!--{962link}--> | Displays the image or text defined in the ICON_962LINK Web option. If this Web option is not defined, the text link "Image" displays instead. Clicking on either the image or the text link takes the user to the URL defined in the first 962 MARC field found in the associated bibliographic record. If there are no 962 fields in the bibliographic record, the WebPAC displays a (non-breaking space). | ||||||||||
<!--{ifmulti962}--> | Checks the associated bibliographic record to determine whether it contains multiple 962 fields. If so, enables the <!--{more962}--> token. | ||||||||||
<!--{more962}--> | If the associated bibliographic record contains multiple 962 fields, displays the text link "More...". Clicking on this text link takes the user to the full record display of the bibliographic record associated with the brief citation. If the record does not contain multiple 962 fields, the WebPAC displays a (non-breaking space). | ||||||||||
<!--{xif}--> | Closes the <!--{ifmulti962}--> block. | ||||||||||
<!--{rating}--> | If your organization uses Patron Material Ratings, this token is replaced with the material ratings tool. | ||||||||||
<!--{webaddress}--> |
If the WEBADDRESS is defined, the system replaces this token with the fifth element of the WEBADDRESS Web option. |

Vbtmmmiis
For example: Vbt24510a Defines a TITLE field from a bibliographic record, having a MARC tag of 245 with an indicator of 10 and a subfield a. Data is taken from or written to only a field (the first field found that matches, not every field that matches) that matches this pattern. If a subfield is included, only that subfield is affected. If no subfield is included, the entire field is affected. |
Varying by Language, Scope, and Patron Type
You can create separate custom forms for each combination of language, scope, and patron type by using the following naming convention:
briefcit_LANG_s#_p#.html
LANG | The language code (e.g., spi for Spanish, frc for French) |
s# | The number of the scope (e.g., s1, s2, s3) |
p# | The patron type or PTYPE (e.g., p0 or p243) |
For a current example of this form, see the appropriate example set in WebPAC Example Sets and Photoshop Files on CSDirect.
