Connecting a bib record to a transcendent bib source will make the record visible in search results regardless of the user’s search scope.
To start, you need to create a transcendent bib source by adding it to config.bib_source in the Evergreen database and setting the transcendant field to true. For example:
# INSERT INTO config.bib_source(quality, source, transcendant, can_have_copies)
VALUES (50, ‘ebooks’, TRUE, FALSE);
If you want to allow libraries to add copies to these records, set the can_have_copies field to TRUE. If you want to prevent libraries from adding copies to these records, set the can_have_copies field to FALSE.
When adding or uploading bib records for electronic resources, set the bibliographic source for the record to this transcendent bibliographic source. Using the staff client, the bibliographic source can be selected in the MARC Batch Import interface when importing new, non-matching records or in the MARC Edit interface when editing existing records.
