One way is to catalog the set in a single bibliographic record using one barcode for the entire set or using multiple barcodes for each individual volume. When creating one MARC record for the entire set, titles of the individual volumes when each volume has its own title are entered into the tag.

The and tag for "History's Turning Points II," a multivolume videocassette set, would be entered as follows:. Plot to kill Hitler -- v. Revolution in Paris -- v. Search for Troy -- v. Television explosion -- v. Rise of the mob -- v. Shot that started the Great War -- v. Spanish Armada -- v. Incredible march -- v. Battle of Britain -- v. First flight -- v. Napoleon invades Russia -- v. Crisis in Korea -- v.

Battle for Vietnam. If each volume in the multivolume set does not have its own unique title, such as a set of World Book encyclopedias, the total number of volumes is entered in the tag and a tag is not needed. The second way to catalog a multivolume set is to create separate bibliographic records for each part of the set with each volume having its own barcode.

If the publisher has packaged the item as a single set, a single bibliographic record to represent the entire set is commonly used; however, if separate bibliographic records would better meet the searchers needs in selecting and obtaining the item, then separate MARC records for each volume should be created.

The goal of many districts using TetraData Data Analyzer is to get data into the hands of its building administrators and even its teachers.

Using the Data Analyzer, districts can accomplish this goal by creating a set of queries in the Analyzer's Shared Favorites. Shared queries allow users to login and run a query that has been created for them. In many cases though, the user will still have to add his or her school or name to the query in order to display students currently enrolled to the school or the teacher.

Many times, districts would like a more simple approach for their staff. This can be accomplished through the use of parameter queries.

What is a Parameter Query? A parameter query is a query that prompts the user for criteria when the query is run or executed. The criteria can be the school code, teacher ID or student ID, depending on the desired scope of the query. Typically, it is best to use an attribute that is an ID or code number.
