Added In The Last (Scoped)
The Added in the Last facet references the oldest related record within the search scope of a grouped work, which sets the added in the last value(s) for the work. This is based on the date added field within the MARC export as defined within the indexing profiles. If the date added information is not included within the export, Pika refers to the date the record was first detected within Pika.
For more information, please review the detail information for the Added in the Last facet here.
Accelerated Reader Facets
See detailed information in the Reading Level facets.
Audience
See detailed information in Audience facets.
Author
The main author of the title (100abcdq:110ab:710a, first field)
Available At
A list of branches where at least one item is available. Availability is based on information in the indexing profile. Branch is based on information within the indexing profile as well.
Available?
Used to drive the toggles at the top of the screen. A general indicator of whether the item is available or not as well as if the item is owned by the active library or location.
Awards
A list of awards that a title has earned (based on 586a as well as information within the Lexile export)
Bisac Subject
Branch
The branch that owns the title is based on the location code and possibly the sub-location code as defined within the indexing profile.
Collection
Library Specific Collections are based on the collection information as defined within the indexing profile.
This is populated only for titles with items owned by the library or the specific library branch, unless the All Records In Shelving Facets library setting is turned on. If All Records In Shelving Facets is turned on, any title in the search scope with an item collection subfield will populate this facet as well.
The values for this facet come from the item collection subfield setting in the indexing profile and are translated with the indexing profile’s collection map.
Compatible Device
Device compatibility for eContent. Typically based on format information.
Detailed Location
The shelf location of the title is based on information defined within the indexing profile.
eContent Collection
Source of eContent based on the indexing information when sideloaded, or based on the custom information for each library when eContent is loaded from item records within the ILS.
eContent Protection
Type of protection applied to eContent (deprecated, suggest this is not turned on for libraries in production.)
Era
Form
Form Facets detail information
Format

Format Category
A grouping of formats for display with icons at the top of search results. Determination is based on the same information as the Format facet.
The resulting category must be one of the following values:
Books
eBook
Audio Books
Movies

Language
Language and Translation Facets
LC Call Number
LC Call Number (099a0:090a0:050a0)
Local or text = 099
Library of Congress = 090 or 050
SuDocs/CoDocs (government documents) = 086
This is really a subject facet. The translation is based on the first letter of LC-style call numbers.
The inclusion of 099 might be a source of error because the 099 are free text call numbers that do not necessarily conform to the first letter subject rules.
LC Subject

Search Scopes
In Pika, each library has its own search scope. A search scope represents all the titles that a library’s patrons are entitled to access. Importantly for consortiums, the search scope excludes titles that a library’s patrons are not entitled to access. eg. another library’s eContent collection that is only accessible by that library’s patrons.
Scoped
For each search scope or interface, scoped facet values are populated only with data from grouped works that are included in that search scope and only the related records of the work that are included in that scope.
Unscoped
Unscoped facets do not change between scopes and will have the same values when used in any search scope.
