Bibliographic records provided by vendors may contain order data to create PO lines and inventory info to populate the holdings and item records. Import profiles include specifications for loading WorldCat Cataloging Partners (WCP), including shelf-ready, bibliographic records.
This document describes the procedures and settings for importing Marc records provided by vendors into the Network Zone. This document will specifically discuss using YBP/Gobi but the considerations and setup will apply to other vendors. It also describes the match settings to use when importing Marc records with or without OCLC numbers.
