Agenda:
Local fields mapping

  • Google docs link: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkSlkXf0YQSiC8XM3q_uMjzvPlfdZW1nxtmRsynLIis/edit#gid=0
  • Leah asked about OWN and STA fields for both this document and the 9XX Hol tab. Do we want to retain these tags and map to the local field range? Are there any other fields we need to include?
    • I've noticed that non-standard Aleph fields (ex: STA, OWN) were not included in the "ODIN-Alma Local Field Mapping" document. Please map these fields to local fields if you want to preserve them in local Alma institutions.
    • Please fill in tab '9XX Hol' if you want to migrate non-standard Aleph holding fields (ex: STA, OWN) to Alma Holdings 9XX fields. Alma Holdings will reside in your local Alma Institution and will not be linked to the Network Zone.
      *** also adding 980, 981 for EDI fields .. OWN (975), STA (976) … LDR (977) and 008 (978) to be used for Analytics

Data Cleanup progress:

  • OCLC number cleanup: great progress has been made for most libraries. Second pass was run and distributed late last week.
  • Examples should be collected for each of these mapping points so they can be tested after the first load. The more examples, the better the testing. Two sets of testing should be done --- one for how the records migrated to NZ (the first week) and the other for how they behave when modifying.
