Every catalog record has a particular format consisting of standard entry tags. The most common format is the MARC format with MARC entry tags. The SirsiDynix e-Library allows the search to be limited to certain fields and entries within a record. When searching by words or phrase or when searching by everything, type your search expression followed by the entry tag(s) enclosed in braces in the appropriate text field. For example, if you enter CHOPIN {100} the SirsiDynix e-Library searches for items written by Chopin.
The SirsiDynix e-Library locates only the specified entries/fields in the records for your search term.
Refer to the following table for some of the most common US MARC entry tags.
