Format Icons

Evergreen utilizes the coded information entered into the leader and control fields in the MARC record for search filters and format icons. These fields need to be accurately coded as per MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data/ Normes MARC 21 so the correct format icons display and the expected records are included in search results. See the section called “Leader and 008 Field Grid” and the section called “Physical Characteristics Wizard” for instructions on how to edit these fields in Evergreen.

The terminology used in the Search Filter and Format Icon tables to indicate characters of the leader and control fields are:

Search Filters

  • Language - relies on characters 35-37 of the 008 field.
  • Audience - relies on character 22 of the 008 field (for the relevant material configurations).
  • Literary Form - relies on character 33 of the 008 field (only applicable to books).
  • Shelving Location - will display a list of the search library’s shelving locations
  • Publication Year - relies on characters 07-10 of the 008 field.
  • Exclude Electronic Resources checkbox - relies on character 23 of the 008 field. Records with a value of "s" or "o" are excluded.
  • Format - relies on the leader and control field values shown in the table below.
