F3 lookup for 3XX Authority Record Control Fields
In the June 2019 release, a new feature was added to MD Editor to look up 3xx MARC fields in an authority record against certain other place names or subject names from the SAME authority vocabulary.
I'd like to suggest Ex Libris to add a function to allow F3 lookup of 3xx MARC fields against certain place names, corporate names, personal names, and subject names from another authority vocab. This is because we want to borrow the standard of Library of Congress's established place names, corporate names, personal names, and subject names, when we create our own authority vocabulary.
For example, when we are creating a new authority record for the HKCANM authority vocab, and when we add a 370 field for the associated place of an author, I want MD Editor to be able to look up the place names of another vocab i.e. LCNAMES. And when we add the associated subject area in 372 field of the HKCANM vocab, I want MD Editor to be able to F3 look up the LCSH vocab. This is what we do day to day, and it saves the time to navigate between different authority vocabularies when creating a full HKCANM authority record. Please consider.
This was initially raised in our Salesforce case # 00696084.
Thanks,
