- Shelby was having a problem with the vendor interface and vendors when adding to a portfolio. This was resolved after the meeting.
New Topics:
- New layout for manage sets page – Liz did a quick demonstration of the new UI for sets.
- Logical collections – Liz demonstrated the one-time configuration required before creating a logical collection and how to create a logical collection.
Tickets with Ex Libris:
- Bibliographic Record Retention
- Sharing NZ data with IZs for analytics
- The configurations for these two things are currently not working and ODIN has tickets with Ex Libris. Liz will report back to the group once they are working.
- Jenny explained that they are going forward with Green Glass, but it would be good to be able to look at NZ level data as well. Shelby described using Green Glass in the past and found it useful.
Open Discussion:
- OCLC WorldShare Record Manager – This is the replacement product for the web version on Connexion in April 2024. o Ben took a little look at WorldShare Record Manager to see how it worked, and wondered if anyone else had done the same?
- Shelby doesn’t use it regularly, but she does use it for certain projects where it is really great. In a way it can replace some of the work you do in MarcEdit because you can apply constant data to a set of records and then export them to Alma. You can search and create a set of records and then group them by year to work on that way. With regular cataloging it is like Connexion client.
- Jenny shared a webpage with WorldShare Record Manager training. https://help.oclc.org/Metadata_Services/WorldShare_Record_Manager/World… o
- Ben checked WorldShare Record Manager for editing local holding records (LHR) and although it looked different than the web Connexion, it works fine for managing those records.
