Re: [ha-Safran] (hasafran) Entering Jewish book awards info into OPALS
Sherry, Thanks. And thanks to OPALS. I didn't realize that was an option in OPALS. I just checked and found the 586 drop-down list. This will save time in the future.

Re: [ha-Safran] (hasafran) Entering Jewish book awards info into OPALS
In my experience, OPALS has been very responsive to requests.

Subject: [ha-Safran] (hasafran) Entering Jewish book awards info into OPALS
When working on cataloging items that had received a National Jewish Book Award
or a Sydney Taylor Book Award I noticed that when you manually insert the 586
MARC tag for “Awards Note” OPALS provided a drop down menu of various book
awards so that you can just select the award you want to insert it into the
record. No surprise, none of the Jewish awards were listed there. I contacted
OPALS support and asked them to include both of the above awards and the AJL
Jewish Fiction Award in the list. Within an hour I heard back from them that
all three of these Jewish Awards have now been included in the list. This
makes entering the information into the catalog record easier. The list is
alphabetical and you have to scroll through it to find them. I thought other
OPALS users would be interested in knowing that OPALS has made them available
in the drop down list.
