Technical Services answer to anything you ever wanted to know about records with coded information that is positionally defined}, month = {June}, booktitle = {ELUNA 2006}, year = {2006}, author = {Bell, Rebecca and Greenwald, Mary Ann and Rykhus, Alan and Bothmann, Robert}, url = {https://beta-documents.el-una.org/id/eprint/416/}, abstract = { Rebecca Bell (MnPALS Library Consortium, Minnesota); Mary Ann Greenwald (MnPALS Library Consortium, Minnesota), Alan Rykhus (MnPALS Library Consortium, Minnesota); Robert Bothmann (Minnesota State University, Mankato); Phyllis Valentine (University of Michigan), Moderator. The creation of a fixed field keyword index allows staff to get more specific statistical counts, correct records, and obtain specific sets of records. We cover the technical aspects and flexibility of creating the indexing table and the tab\_expand expand\_doc\_type tables, as well as the cost-effectiveness of this approach, indexing time, and maintenance overhead.} }
