Children’s PAC Default Search Limits Dialog Box

To open this dialog box:
In Polaris Administration, select Profiles, Children’s PAC, Default search limits.

Use this dialog box to filter and scope search results in Polaris PowerPAC Children’s Edition. For details, see Setting Children’s Search Limits.

• Set a free-text filter - Type the Common Query Language (CQL) command in the Default free text search limit box, beginning with the Boolean operator and. The default filter is AND TA=j, which limits the results to titles with a juvenile target audience. For more information about CQL, see PAC CQL Commands & Access Points.
• Limit search results to certain collections - Select the collections in the Collections list.

Tip:
If you have collections set up for children’s periodicals, this is a good way to include the periodicals in Children’s PAC search results, since serials records do not include target audience information.

• Combine free-text and collection filters - Enter a free-text filter and select the collections intended for children.
