Sirsi “Caret Codes”

LCLS: CAP Manual: Sirsi “Caret Codes”

There are special codes one can use to construct boolean search strings using item-level information. These are based on policy numbers for each value. We call these "caret codes" because all the ones we know begin with the "Caret" (^) symbol. These will vary based on what values there are in any given Sirsi database, but should, we believe, follow the same pattern for the prefix part (e.g. ^F.. Is format, ^T.. is item type, ^H.. is home location, ^L.. is library)

These codes are useful for complex comparisons, for example finding items owned by one library but not another, items unique to one library, items falling into one of several categories OR another set of categories etc...

For example, we use this search string:

(^L1 or ^L2 or ^L3 or ^L4 or ^L5 or ^L7) not (^L6 or ^L8 or ^L9 or ^L10 or ^L11 or ^L13)

To find items owned by county libraries in our system, but not the headquarters library or its branches

Here are the codes we have for our library system:
