Behavior of 001 changed in load profiles
|
Lloyd changed the translation map for all the load profiles (except z39.50) so they would have the same behavior on the 001 field. However, this created a problem for the libraries using the Marquis macro system. The Marquis system screen scrapes our own classic catalog to get records, so it gets 001 fields that don’t have the OCLC prefix. When it reloaded them, it was creating duplicates. Lloyd changed the loader for the Marquis users (X). Now it will allow a 001 number without a prefix. He also changed the label on the (X) loader so it is clear that it is for use with the Marquis macro.
*Lloyd will check that Marquis is not removing any information from records. If a field doesn’t display in classic Marquis could possibly remove that field when the record is reloaded. Jamie mentions that he has seen records in classic catalog appear without any 001 field. That would be a problem if that happens in the version of the catalog that Marquis searches. |

Report from Duplicates Subcommittee
|
This month we cleaned up many of the duplicate Naxos records with flc prefixes. That was the vast majority of those duplicates. There are still a few ebooks with flc prefixes. We also started talking about the records with “aa” prefixes that came over from CARL. Maybe these could be exported and reloaded with fixed numbers. |
|
Report from Reindexing Subcommittee |
We looked through the different ideas for reindexing we have had. The indexing ideas are on the website.
*Reindexing committee next month will look at the indexes that already exist to find any that we don’t need and could eliminate or repurpose. |
|
Changed I-type 111 to eVideo
|
Brandon re-created the 254 eMusic I-type which made the 110 eAudio unnecessary. We can revisit if necessary. |
|
Status of Marcive records and headings reports training
|
Marcive send a new batch of records. Lloyd is tweaking the load profile to load them. The plan is to get those loaded this week. Headings report training now scheduled for 10/31. |
Discussion Topic
- Process for hiring new director. How does UCC want to be involved?
- Jamie and Karen would like input into job requirements and announcement
- By the time of interviews, it is too late to have much impact
- Will there be representatives of the members on the search committee?
- The executive board is made of members and they will run the process.
- Last time most of the hiring committee was members
- Maybe UCC could meet with candidates, they could give online presentations.
- Jamie and Karen would like input into job requirements and announcement
- Nancy has left Marmot, so we are now without a deduper. We need to think about what we will do now to cover the work she was doing.
- Brandon wants to try to get by without hiring a replacement.
- Tammy can work on some of the projects and figure out how we can train and organize members to work on them as well.
- We could try to use library school interns.
- They might work for school credit or just volunteer.
- They could be remote.
- We could look at DU and Emporia.
- What all was Nancy doing?
- Checking Adams State’s 001 numbers
- Deduping
- Regular clean-up projects like deleting dummies and orphan bibs
- We look at some of the junk in the 9xx fields in our records. Do we need these, are they useful?
- 902, 938, 994?
- 994 is a code from OCLC about what was done to the record by whom. Maybe this could be protected so we would see who did overlays. *Lloyd will investigate 994.
- 948 field includes info about authority processing from LTI and Marcive
- Jamie suggests we don’t need LTI information on records that have subsequently been to Marcive.
- Duplicated 948 fields can be cleaned up.
- 938 vendor notes
- *Lloyd to do a survey of members asking if anyone is doing something with various 9xx fields
- Get list of all 9xx fields, get examples for survey
- Ask if it is being used, or could be used in the future
- Ask about 9xx fields on Autocat
- 902, 938, 994?

New export profile for 538 field for CMU last copy project |
Lloyd/Jamie |
Lloyd has asked III if we could get permission to edit our own export profiles. This would allow us to set up an export profile to deal with the 538 field. We would like to be able to keep it in the item record, then move it to the bib when it is exported. *Lloyd will create web page to collect ideas for changes to export profile. |

Update cataloging standards document, bring updated version of it back to the UCC, and get it up on the web page |
