Codes in each type of record can be used to regulate whether the record displays in the local system, and also to regulate display of the record in the Central Catalog as well. Most recent policy (original 1997 policy).
These codes regulate suppression and display:
| Type of record | Suppression code |
|---|---|
| bibliographic | BCODE3 |
| item | ICODE2 |
| order | CODE4 |
| check-in | SCODE2 |
Within OhioLINK, values are also coordinated for these codes. That is, all OhioLINK institutions use the same scheme of values. Use of other values in these fields will result in the display of the record at the central site, whether or not that was the coder's intention. The following codes are used:
| Code | Display in Central Catalog? | Display in local catalog? |
|---|---|---|
| blank | yes | yes |
| z | no | yes |
| s | no | no (configured by Innovative) |
| g (BCODE3 only) | yes, with text "OhioLINK Resource" | yes |
| o (BCODE3 only) | yes, with text "OhioLINK Resource" | no (configured by Innovative) |
