    Question

    Is it possible to link a geographic AUT record (field 151) to a BIB record using BIB field 110 and/or to access the geographic AUT index when doing CTRL+F3 in BIB record (field 110)?

    Answer

    Linking is unfortunately not possible. Problem is that in table xxx01/tab/tab01.lng for each field only one index code from AUT library can be assigned for the linking and for field 110 there is already index code AUT assigned. So assigning also GEO is not possible.

    Accessing the index list of geographic subjects from field 110 in BIB record is possible. Configuration should look as follows (example for USM libraries):
    Usm01/tab/tab_aut [New line]
    AUT 2 USM10

    Usm01/pc_tab/catalog/scancode.dat [Changed]
    LOCAL USM01 USM10 USM12 USM01 USM11 USM10

    050## LCC
    086## SUD
    100## d AUT PER AUT
    110## AUT COR
    GEO

    Please note that if you select an entry from field 151 into field 110 the field code in BIB record will automatically change to 151.
