RE: Create List of records that have no Bib level Lib Has field

[John Dillon <JDillon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

The trick you may be looking for is to say that the H tag field = nothing.
(Just hit <enter> for nothing.  If I remember right, this brings up Bibs
that don't have any occurence of that field.  You could search both Bibs and
Checkins at once by first specifying the Bib h tag = nothing, And... then
use the ? sign to switch to Checkin field options to AND the same
specification.  It would look like this, the second Lib Has representing
from the Checkin:

Find BIBLIOGRAPHIC records that satisfy the following conditions
    BIB LVL = s AND LIB. HAS =  AND LIB. HAS =

Subject: Create List of records that have no Bib level Lib Has field


Hello---

I'm looking for a boolean search solution in the create list function 
that will get me the following records:

All serial bib records (bib level s) that do not have a holdings 
statement, either in the bib record or the checkin record.  
(history/background) We designate holdings with an 'h' rather than a 
marc tag at this time.

Currently I have been entering this beginning part of the string for 
the search:

BIB LEVEL = s AND LIB. HAS

but the problem is that there is no boolean operator for "give me the 
records if the Lib. Has field doesn't exist." (e.g. BIB LEVEL = s AND 
LIB. HAS not exist AND ........)

I do know that when I'm in the checkin level (? -> C) I can get "/3 
CHECKIN" which will allow me to retrieve a boolean on whether the 
checkin record "e)xists" or "n)ot exists".  Is there something like 
this for the Lib. Has field in either the bib or checkin levels?  If 
not can III turn it on?

I do know that we can print out every serial record's lib. has field 
and see if any record is missing a holdings statement, but I was 
hoping to trim down the list from our entire serials collection to 
just the records with missing information.

Thanks.
