Add or Locate Publisher

The Add or Locate Publisher form is used to associate a new or existing publisher record with a library item. To access this form, click the Select Publisher button on the General panel of the Edit Named Item form.

The Add or Locate Publisher form uses a "wizard" multi-step interface. To move to the next step, use the Next button. Use the Back button to return to the previous step. The Finish button accepts the final selection on the form and returns to the previous form. To close the form without making a selection, click the Cancel button.

The form includes two steps.

  1. Enter the name of a new or existing publisher in the Publisher Name field. When searching for an existing publisher, you can include the asterisk ("*") wildcard character within the text. When you have entered the text, click the Next button.
    If the associated library item already has a publisher and you simply wish to clear it, click the Clear button.
  2. A list of matching publishers will appear. To accept one of the publishers, select it from the list and click the Finish button. If user are authorized to add new publishers to the database, an entry with "<Add new publisher>" will also appear in the list. To add a new publisher through the Edit Publisher form, select this special item from the list, then click the Finish button.
