RE: Query for Create List gurus

["Abbott, Bruce" <BAbbot@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For a list such as this what I do is to use the character based client, and
search for the titles one by one, and export the records to a created list.


What's really works well for us is that we have two libraries on our system
and if I use the patron interface on the character-based system it will
restrict records to my scope.  After you finish exporting the records use
the "*" to switch back to staff mode and have the exported records copied to
a "create list."

Subject: Query for Create List gurus

The ACC History Department has created a generic reading list for US 
History I. It would be useful if students could search for all the titles 
on the list. Consequently, we would like to add a note to the bib record 
for titles that we own. The note would say something like: U. S. History 
1301 Book List FY2004.

We have an I-code that distinguishes history books, but there are over 
10,000 in our system, so that is a lot of items to delete, even using 
Millennium create list. However, the faculty list is also long and would 
require MUCH keying in to create a list this way.

At this point, it seems like the best way to create a list is to create a 
list for all books with I-code for history, sort the list,  and then delete 
all the titles that are not part of the reading list.

Is there another way that I'm missing?
