Announcements

  • Alma May 2020 Release

    • The new Metadata Editor is currently available in the sandbox.

    • Control the display of related holdings in Primo. This includes the option to display, or not display, related holdings, as well as the option to only display related holdings for monographs or serials.

    • (ERM) Linking information for Community Zone portfolios can now be viewed from search results in the Community Zone tab. This should allow for better-informed activation decisions.

  • MarcEdit shelter-in-place webinars by Terry Reese- a professional development opportunity for cataloging and metadata folks.

Alma enhancements schedule

  • Postponed until April 26th. The committee still plans to weigh in on the Resource Management-related enhancement requests.

ULMS satisfaction survey- Salesforce Case 00815713 update

  • The committee will think about which indexes, specifically, indexes could benefit from a more robust list of match type options in advanced search.

Authority Control Task Force Update

The Authority Control Task Force (ACTF) has been testing authority control workflows in the NZ Alma instance. Members have been troubleshooting reports based on the types of headings involved (Names; Name-Title; Subjects; and Genre). They’re using authority control tools (e.g. PTC macro) to resolve problems. Members are drafting recommendations, which will focus on scope of work, recruitment, training, and workflows needed to support authority work for our consortium. Draft Recommendations will be submitted to the Resources Management Functional Committee on April 30, 2020. 

MARC fields in Primo (display/search, etc.)

Israel will start a table of MARC fields and whether they display and/or are searchable in Primo. Lia will assist in filling out the table.

Google Doc on remote working ideas for cataloging/metadata

Potential Network-level ideas from Google Doc. This list could generate additional ideas for cataloging/metadata work that can be performed at the consortium level.
