Background and Purpose
Procedures for adding local fields (now called Local Extensions) in Alma. Document also outlines local data in Alma and Primo VE
Local fields/notes or Local Extensions are MARC fields that are added by CSU libraries at the institutional level in the Metadata Editor. These Local Extensions, if added correctly, are retained and protected from the daily Alma bibliographic record overlay in the NZ. The list of CSU Libraries' Local Extensions is to provide all campuses with information on the use of each Local Extension per campus and to help campuses identify which MARC fields to use which will not interfere or conflict with MARC fields employed by Alma/Ex Libris, OCLC, and/or in bibliographic records in the NZ.
Procedures
Two methods for adding local extensions in Alma:
...
- Please see Display of Local Fields from IZ Records in Primo for additional metadata required for local fields in IZ-only records.
Reserved MARC Fields
- Ex Libris has reserved 900-949 fields. These fields should NOT be used for local data. NOTE:
- 949 is reserved for the RapidILL publishing profile.
- 988 is reserved for the nodedupe normalization rule.
- 994 and 995 are reserved for system notes.
- 999 is reserved for CR_Restricted course reserve records.
- Network-Reserved Fields:
- Fields 976-979 and 982-988 987 are reserved for future use as Network-wide notes. Any use of these local note extensions will be added to this table after the use is approved by the appropriate committees within ULMS Governance.
- NOTE: The 988 field is reserved for the nodedupe normalization rule.
Institution-Reserved Fields:
Fields 958, 962-969, and 972 are reserved for local institution-defined internal notes. Any CSU library is free to define any of these fields for local useFields 950, 951, 956, 987, 989 -999 are reserved for OCLC use per information contained in OCLC's Bibliographic Formats and Standards and are not to be used for Network or local use in Alma or Primo VE.
NOTE: The 999 field is used as the default “Network-defined CR_RESTRICTED field for course reserve records” to restrict access to “personal copies” on reserves.
...
- See the MARC Fields Excluded from Alma page for other restricted MARC fields.
