In the Short Display on the HEIDI Tab, the key information is listed:

  • Title details, possibly with subjects (keywords), a link to the complete work (parent record), a link to the table of contents, similar titles, and more.
  • Shelf-mark and availability (see "Availability display"):
    Please note that multiple copies of each title may be available. You can only view a list of all copies and their availability by clicking on the title and viewing the full information.
