Alma December 2017 highlight: 651 Authority record linking: For bibliographic records containing the 651 field with a second indicator of 0, the system now checks LCNAMES in addition to LCSH.
Norm Rules Task Force is reviewing the display and linking of 76X-78X in Primo (see table below). Currently 77X and 780-785 fields display under Related Titles fields; and, in addition, 780-785 display in their separate fields (Earlier title/Later Title) and are hyperlinked, The Group discussed benefits of displaying and hyperlinking additional linking fields and decided not to display linking fields other than 780 and 785 fields. To be reconsidered in the future.
Marcive Documents without Shelves
Discussion (scope; central management; record loads procedures; division of labor; impact on discovery).
Scope: For 2018, Documents without Shelves will be provided for all CSU campuses as part of the subscription. For 2019 and beyond, all campuses will have the option to continue access and be charged based on campus usage.
Management of records: Centrally by whom? How often (updates/deletes)?
"How to create a base collection to share using all of the unique records from the campuses with existing Marcive subscriptions as DWS is not retrospective. At that point, I think we’d want to get rid of these portfolios in our IZ as they would be duplicates and would not be kept up to date."
Loading of records to NZ: Process can be automated. But for the management, solutions to the issues raised will be dealt after the initial record load. Sarina suggested we follow up with Wisconsin.
