Why use the 690 field?
• For library staff who are not catalogers.
• Distributed workload for public services staff.
• Public services staff who know their collections.
can add titles that they deem useful.
• Easily create dynamic lists in HIP.
– The list is “newly” created each time a patron performs
a search.
– Items that were purged will no longer show up on the
list…..no staff intervention required!
Creating a Subject Heading
• Create an authority for the 690 (local
subject heading)
• Begin with a standard prefix (WPL)
– Groups all 690’s together for easy retrieval by
public services staff.
– Staff know these are used for booklist creation.

Creating the lists
• Staff can now add the appropriate 690 tag to
whatever titles they choose.
• Create a link in HIP:
– Setup a category/sub-category that searches the
specific 690 tag.
– Add that category/sub-category to a page.
