June 22, 2020 – Academic Cataloging Group Notes
ATTENDING: Amy (NDSCS), Aubrey (NMY), Ben (NDV), Drew (UND), Erika (UNF), Ginny (ODIN), Jasmine (NDJ), Jason (ODIN), Jenny (NDSU), Julia (NMI), Kelly (NMY), Laurie (UNE), Linda (ODIN), Liz (NBJ), Phyllis (TBI), Shari (UNW), Shelby (UND), Staci (NDI), Tina (NDSU), Lynn (ODIN)
Data Cleanup/Data Review:
- NMI - Primo one item said ONLINE when they had online, print and microform, UND - browsing call numbers, UND - cutters used in 099 tags, NMI -- cutters with 092 for children’s collections, virtual browse uses 050 instead of 090 (based on bib record rather than holding) – problem listed in Basecamp.
- Children’s fiction call numbers are often not in order (TD12709890/SF00821559). UPDATE: Lynn sent in recording created with Shelby demonstrating the process for clarity on Thursday. Ex Libris to evaluate.
- NZ Manager: Ongoing discussion as to how to handle NZ – who needs access, what type of access, etc
- Shelby created two DRAFT documents for cataloging (sent to odin-cat list on 6/5/20). Documents were reviewed and discussed. Last week there was discussion if when adding a record from NZ if you should push to OCLC (NO). Also confirmed holdings should be added at OCLC so the record will come through the OCLC load process. Client vs web based OCLC – Shelby will adjust the documentation to include web instructions.
- Any further information/discussion on how deletes/updates are working? Jason mentioned the UPDATES query has run but has not picked anything up. – UPDATE: Jason, Shelby and Lynn will meet to walk through process for updates/deletes to see if we can determine where the issue is. Resolved configuration problems and got it working.

Where Pam indicates (we mentioned the report last time – any further thoughts/comments?): As a consortia, there should be discussion about protocol for if you are the last institution that has holdings and you are removing them in order to prevent situations where there is an NZ record with no institutional holdings. It would be possible to run reporting to find these "orphans" then use sets to remove in the NZ.
Recommendation – wait to be active for a month or two before deciding to get rid of anything. - Import batch of ebooks from EBSCO – should holdings be updated in OCLC thereby creating another record in NZ (which is not what we want)?
- Question from Shelby: If we are sending in P2E forms as part of migration, why isn’t ExL putting these into IZ instead of NZ? – did you submit this to Basecamp? Shelby will post in BC.
New Topics:
- No new topics submitted --- what’s on your mind today?
- 856 – what are people using? $z is the note, $y $3 is already in portfolio as a note
- Walked through how to handle having two same records that need to be merged in IZ and then sent to NZ.
- Can 852 holding record be automatically be filled in when adding bib record? Yes, if you are sneaky. With a file of records and updating the MD Editor. Something that can be addressed in the future. Tina (NDSU) suggested a template could be used to create holding records.
- Who would we ask to generate a new P2E? I deleted some things and forgot to remove them from the P2E I submitted months ago. – Submit a Helpticket to ODIN Office requesting help generating files.
- Do an ALL TITLES for searching in NZ. Item records can be searched by Physical Title.
- You do not need to edit anywhere in OCLC UNLESS you are going to edit the bib record there.
- Followup to 6/16 ExLibris session on Norm Rules – any comments/questions/discussion?
- To-Do: Lynn send out fix routines currently in use in ALEPH
