Replacement Rules for IZ Local Display Fields
You can copy and paste the following customized VE norm rules for OOTB display fields. After replacing the OOTB norm rule with the customized rules below, click Apply rules. No further configuration required, assuming the OOTB display field is already included in your view.
Display field | Description | Norm rule (Before/After as appropriate) | Date Implemented |
---|---|---|---|
Title | Takes title from MARC 130, if it exists. If MARC 130 does not exist, takes title from MARC 245 $a, $b, and $c Example: has a 130 field, which is more helpful than the 245 in specifying the particular film adaptation. Updated: 11/10/21. Added subfields, including number and part to the 130 and 245 rules. Removed (Online) from 130. |
| 11/10/21 |
Creator (Author) | Takes author from MARC 100, 700 (if $e author exists), 110, 111. Removes ending period. Example: has two authors-- one in a 100 and the other in the 700. Both appear in the Author display field. Updated: 02/04/22. Adds 1XX subfields to make Creator lateral links more accurate. |
| 02/04/22 |
Contributor | Takes contributor from MARC 700 (if $e author does not exist), 710, 711. Removes ending period. Updated: 11/16/21. Prevents repeating author’s name in this field if there is a 700 $i Translation of work: field in the record. Updated: 02/04/22. Adds 7XX subfields to make Contributor lateral links more accurate. Updated: 05/04/22. Adds condition to suppress any 7XX fields with $5. |
| 02/04/22 |
Genre | Takes genre from MARC 655 if second indicator is 7, and the value in $2 is any of the following: lcgft, gsafd, gmgpc, rbbin, rbgenr, rbmscv, rbpap, rbpri, rbprov, rbpub, rbtyp. Also takes genre from 694 $a. Removes ending periods. Differs from the OOTB rule in that it does not include the 6XX$v. |
| 07/10/21 |
Description (Summary label) | Takes only the first occurrence of the 520 field. Occasionally, a MARC record may have multiple summary fields, which is arguably unnecessary. Example: has two 520 fields, but is only displaying the first. |
| 07/14/21 |
Subject | Displays only LCSH (6XX fields second indicator 0). Includes transformations for LCSH Illegal aliens and related subject headings. Adds $v (form subdivision) to the display, as the OOTB lacks it. Updated to include new subject heading transformations and additional subject vocabularies |
| 11/29/21 updated 05/26/23
|
Format | Formats the display of the 300 field to meet ISBD punctuation recommendations Note: You may need the 351 stanza, which is used to describe the organizational structure of archival collections, if using DACS rules.

NZ-Managed Norm Rules
These rules (numbered LDS 51-LDS 99) are managed in the NZ by the Norm Rules Task Force. New and modified rules are distributed to the IZs from the NZ using the Distribute function described here. Campuses will need to modify their views to include these fields in order to use them locally. NOTE: Any local modifications made to these rules will not be overwritten by subsequent modifications made to the NZ rule.
