Editing a bib in QuickMARC
Most of the time, an instance record in Inventory will have an underlying MARC record. In such cases, any edits to the Instance will have to be made to the underlying source MARC data. To do so, you can use the QuickMARC app.
In the Instance pane, use the Actions dropdown and click on "edit in quickMARC"
Add fields using the + icon
Delete fields using the trash can icon
Move fields up and down with the arrow icons on the left
Note that blank fixed field values and blank indicators use the character "\" (forward slash) in the quickMARC interface
Subfields use the dollar sign: $
Leading subfield a's ($a) are not assumed: they must be entered
See more quickMARC editing tips on the FOLIO project wiki, here.
