Dear AAT Users,
With apologies for cross-posting.
Since its release, ne small drawback to the new online AAT interface
has come to our attention. The Facet/Hierarchy code for each term has
inadvertentlybeen omitted from the term record display. Anyone using
the Facet/Hierarchy codes when using the AAT in MARC records will suffer
inconvenience as a consequence. We are covered in shame and confusion.
We are working on the problem, and are hopeful that we have worked out a
solution. Programmers are working on it as we write. The target time for
the codes to be inserted is sometime between the Ides of March and St.
Patrick's Day.
In the meantime, you can do the following. Enter the full record
display, and note the facet and hierarchy to which the term belongs, as
shown in the mini-hierarchy within the full term record. Then check the
AAT Facets and Hierarchies list below for the codes denoting each
hierarchy. All terms in a given hierarchy have the same facet/hierarchy
code.
We realise that it is clumsy to have to consult an offline list to get
the full information you need, and we apologize. It is, however, the
best that we can do in the very short term.
Please, if you have any questions about this or any other AAT matter,
don't hesitate to email me.
Thanks for your continued support of the AAT over the years.
Best regards,
