Material - Specific Material Designation WSD 007/01 F0101 WSD=d and WGM=a
Under each GMD (General Material Designator) is an SMD, a specific material designator, which is, as it says, a more specific designation of physical form. Please use WSD searches in conjunction with the appropriate WGM search.

Search Statement Syntax:

  • Indexes may be combined using lower or upper case.
  • Default on terms is Boolean AND.
  • Parentheses are optional, but help for complex searches using AND, OR, NOT.
    Examples:
    • wtl=housing and wau=united states and wsu=finance
    • (wft=se and wsu=advertising) not wtl=marketing
    • wrd=(tobacco or cigarette) and wrd=(industry or advertising)

Truncation, Proximity and Range Searching

? or * Wildcard for any number of characters left, right, or center, but never more than once in a string.
# Masking multiple characters hum#r to retrieve humor or humour
! Masking a single character wom!n to retrieve woman or women
-> Range searching 1990 -> 2002

Staff Use Only Commands

INDEX COMMAND MARC FIELDS SEARCHED EXAMPLES
Export Flag WXF 965a WXF=
Another used for batch processing, to block export ("NOEXP") of government document records, Chinese records, Blackwell-enhanced records, etc. Not much use for normal searching.
Export Type WXT 965b WXT=
See "Export Flag" above.
Bib Status WAS STA WAS=deleted
Not for use on the Web OPAC - staff use only. This is used to suppress and delete bib records from the Web OPAC, either with codes SUPPRESSED or DELETED, or with other codes (e.g., CIRC-CREATED) which are set to be suppressed
Hol StaNote WXN 852 x; 866 x; 867 x; 868 x WXN=
Non-public note subfield - see http://staff.lib.umn.edu/ts/internal.html for list.
Hol Stat Date WHDT Obsolete Obsolete
Leader Encoding Lvl WEL LDR F1701 WEL=8
Primarily for staff use. Encoding level is "blank" for fully cataloged items, so any searching would be on the values for less fully cataloged levels--4 for Core, 8 for CIP, 5 for minimal, etc. We could use it to identify records that might need upgrading, or that are not finished enough to export, etc.
Leader Status WLS LDR F0501 WLS=n
This code is used mainly for batch processing. It tells whether a bib record is:
  • New (n)
  • Corrected (c)
  • Deleted (d), etc.
Not very useful for normal searching.
