includes a reading level number and the number of points a student can earn by

must be in the 526 subfield c. The search does not examine the 521 tag (Target

b, c, d, and z (at Union Catalog Plus sites, subfield 5 also appears) in the 526 tag.
The record display in the visual OPAC interface includes subfields a, c, d, and z.

can range from 0.0 to 15.0.
Each title in the Reading Counts program is worth a certain number of points.
Point values can range from 0.0 to 130.0. To limit your search to titles that are
above or below a certain point value, enter a point value range.
