Editing MARC in Evergreen Staff Client
- To get to the MARC Edit interface, please see Editing MARC Records in Sitka's Evergreen Documentation.
- For a primer on the fixed field and editing it please see the next section, MARC Record Leader and MARC fixed field 008.
Fixed Field Example
The Giver quartet by Lois Lowry - barcode 35246000832277 at Fort Nelson.
- Will be retrieved by the Teen Fiction criteria because it has values for Type: a, Form: r, Audn: d and LitF 1.
- This record's Date Active timestamp falls on 2014-09-11 12:10 PM which will place it in October's Teen Fiction list (see below).
Booklist Builder Criteria
- LibPress booklists rely on two groups of metadata to be populated: fixed field values in the 008 that feed into Evergreen's search filters as well as the date a bib record became active (changed status to Available) in a particular catalogue.
- Often times one or more fixed field values will be incorrect or not filed (namely Audn) and will return no recent records, leading to empty lists.
Currently a bug is preventing
space values for Form from being indexed in EG, these should be catalogued with r (print production) to ensure they are added to lists properly

Date Active
Date Active is viewable from the Item Status → Show Item Details context menu
- Date Active must occur within the last month to be included in the current month's lists.
- For example, items with a Date Active timestamp that falls in August will appear in the New Items list for September.
- Date Active is set when the Status of a record changes to Available for the first time.
