- "New" records are defined as any WorldCat record that has a title-level holdings attached by the first CSU library, i.e., it previously did not have title-level holdings attached by any CSU library.
- "Updated" records have had a change made that meets the criteria we, CSU Libraries, have defined in WorldCat Collection Manger as a change of interest. (To be determined)
Note: WorldCat Collection Manager also creates a file of "Delete" records which are records which have had the last CSU library title-level holding removed. We have chosen not to load these delete-status records as there is too great a chance that records, such as child records in a bound-with relationship, would be inappropriately deleted from Alma. Ex Libris is currently developing a batch tool requested by Orbis that will be able to create a set of NZ bib records which have no attached inventory, POLs, requests, work orders, etc. AND are not a child record in a bound-with relationship (i.e., are pointed to be a 774 field in an NZ bib record). Ex Libris expects this tool to be ready prior to the end of 2016.
