Icons used in CAT and CAT Jr. (MultiLIS)

MultiLIS uses the material type code in the Leader, which is governed by strict international cataloging rules, to determine the icon that displays in the MultiLIS OPAC, CAT and CAT Jr. The material type code is located in the sixth position; begin counting with zero. See the table below for icons associated with these codes.

Sirsi K-12 uses the material type in the item record, which is governed by local cataloging rules, to determine the icon that displays in the OPAC. For material type icons that display in Sirsi K-12 CAT and CAT Jr., consult the INFOhio Sirsi K-12 Handbook, especially section 1.5
