Converting a Resource Entity to an 856 Tag

To convert a resource entity to a traditional 856 tag.

1. Open the Bibliographic Record workform for the integrated eContent.
2. Go to the Resources view.
3. Select Revert to MARC tag.

The integrated eContent tag is changed to an 856 tag in the bibliographic record, and item records linked to the reverted resource entity are unlinked and deleted. If the eContent item is not currently checked in, the following message appears: You cannot convert this resource entity because copies of the book are currently checked out.

Exporting Bibliographic Records with Resource Entities

When you export bibliographic records for integrated eContent from the staff-client or by using SimplyReports and Export Express, the resource entities revert to regular MARC tags in the bibliographic records. Resource entities are also converted to regular 856 MARC tags if another library copies an integrated eContent bibliographic record from your library’s catalog using a Z39.50 search.

Resource Entities Transactions

Transactions are recorded when resource entities are created, modified, reverted, or deleted. The resource entity creator/date, and the resource entity modifier/date are displayed in the Resources view of the Bibliographic Record workform.
