Access Point
Those portions of a bibliographic record under which a user can search for an item in that catalog. Within an automated system, virtually any portion of a library catalog record can conceivably be used as an access point, or search term.
...
Each library that uses acquisitions in Sierra has a separate account unit (or accounting unit) that keeps financial information apart from other libraries. Each account unit includes a separate set of order records, vendor records and invoice records. Account units also come with access to reserves room and serials checkin functions in Sierra. Not all Marmot members have access to an account unit, and in a few cases the ordering functions of an account unit are being used by a different library than is using the serials checkin part of the same account unit.

Bibliographic records that describe part of parts of a larger item, such as a chapter, or single volume of a multi-volume work.

Common term for shared technical processing systems such as OCLC, SkyRiver and BTCat.
BTCat
A bibliographic utility from Baker & Taylor. They allow libraries to share the MARC records. Marmot allows members to use any Bibliographic Utility they want.
Call Number
A code assigned to each item for shelving purposes. It identifies the location on the shelf an item will be shelved relative to the other items in the collection. It usually consists of a Classification Number and a Cutter Number. Marmot keeps these in item records because different member libraries may use different numbers or different numbering systems while sharing bib records. They may also be in the bib record, but all Marmot systems look to the item for call number.
Caption Title
...
Bound-with
When two or more books, published separately, are bound together in a single volume this is called a “bound-with.” Sometimes the books have nothing to do with each other. It is possible for these to be cataloged separately in Sierra and still circulate as a single item. This is rare today because binding unrelated books has not been a common practice for more than 100 years. However this Sierra function could be used for other situations where unrelated things circulate together.

Used in Sierra reserve room functions for academic libraries. When an item is put in the reserve room, it is linked to a course record, which is used to define to special circulation rules for use while the item is on reserve.

Cutter Number
...
Critical Cataloging
The idea of considering how standard cataloging methods, such as subject vocabularies and call number systems, are contributing to the social domination of marginalized people and how the profession could rectify those problems.
Cutter Number
Usually the second part of a call number. Placed in subfield $b of the call number field. It specifies the exact place in the shelf order where the item is shelved relative to other items. It is based on the bibliographic main entry. In Dewey systems it is usually the first several letters of the main entry. In Library of Congress systems it is constructed with the Cutter Table from the Library of Congress based on the main entry. Named for Charles Cutter.
Delimiter
Within MARC format, delimiters are used to identify and differentiate between separate elements within a field. The delimiter sign is used with a MARC subfield code in front of each data element to identify subfields within MARC fields. In Sierra and SkyRiver, the delimiter sign is the pipe character, |. In MarcEdit, it is the dollar sign, $. In Connexion, it is a double dagger, ǂ.
Dewey Decimal Call Number
Named for Melvil Dewey. A call number created following the Dewey Decimal system. Usually using the WebDewey online product from OCLC. There are also paper volumes available that can be used to create numbers. The system is named for Melvil Dewey.

Enumeration
...
A field is one or more elements of data in a record. In MARC they are are identified by three digit MARC tags. Typically, data elements are grouped together within fields according to groupings used within traditional catalog records. For example, the place of publication, the publisher name, and the date of publication are all included as part of the MARC field tagged 264.
...
In Sierra, MARC tags can be assigned to field groups. A field group is identified by a single letter tag and can include multiple MARC tags. It is possible to use create lists to build groups of records based on searches within particular field group tags. You can perform Global Updates based on field group tags. Field group tags can also be used to control matching when loading records. Sierra non-MARC fields are also identified by field group tags. A field group can include both MARC and non-MARC fields.
Fixed Field
In Sierra, this term Each record type has a separate set of field groups, so for example the “a” field group in bib records is completely separate from the “a” field group in items.
Fixed Field
In Sierra, this term refers to the proprietary fields that appear at the top of a record. They consist of short codes that represent characteristics of the record. These short codes are easier for the system to use for all sorts of purposes. Bib fixed fields are used to create filters in the classic catalog. Item fixed fields are used to control circulation characteristics. Order fixed fields are used in financial transactions. Outside of Sierra the term fixed field refers to certain MARC fields used to store coded information about the item. Sierra calls those fields Special Fields.

For example, the BIB UTIL index is built from 001 and 019 MARC tags that are also in the “o” field group. Indexes in Sierra can be used for searching, and controlling record matching Each index in Sierra is identified by a single letter of the alphabet, so we are limited to 26 indexes on a server. Sierra indexes can be used for searching, and controlling record matching on loading. Indexes in classic catalog are the same as those in the corresponding Sierra server, but Pika creates its and VuFind create their own indexes.
Indicators
A pair of characters following that follows the three-digit MARC tag at the beginning of a variable data field containing . These two characters contain codes that provide information to the computer or give further information about the contents of a field within a MARC record. Each MARC data field contains two indicators. One or both may be blank. They have completely different meanings in each MARC tag.
