Changes
Change # refers to corresponding card # on the Trello Board.
Notes
#103 and #113 didn't work due to oversight in norm rule.
#104 created search and display problems.
All three will be fixed with follow-up renorm during the long July 4th weekend.
# | Change | Description | Examples | Implementation notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 55 | Experimental boost to title | Journal titles appear to be boosted due to an out-of-the-box norm rule that adds the main title (245|a) twice to the title search index. Doing the same for other material types. | Removed the conditional logic (limiting this only to journals) on the first several rules in the title search norm rule set | |
| 103 | Binding note field | 563 | Need to add new field to view settings to see it. | |
| 104 | Personal author in "last, first" order | Use 100|a and 700|a as-is, rather than extracting first and last name | Java keyword search | Disabled the rules with 'get author first name' and 'get author last name' transformations, and added subfield 'a' to the next rule, which otherwise includes the remaining subfields. For both the creator and contributor display fields. No change necessary for search. |
| 105 | Create separate pub date for serials | So we can hide or display journal pub date separately | Removed date for serials from main pub date field. Created new field just for serials pub date. Need to add new field to view settings to see it. | |
| 106 | Do not merge VHS and DVD records | Add to merge-dedupe configuration | As good as it gets (production) | Couldn't find example in sandbox; will have to test in production. |
| 108 | Additional links for Eigenfactor & Scimago | Links for searching journal ranking sites | Australian journal of education | Links are simply to ISSN searches on these sites (no guarantee of results) |
| 110 | Serials publication frequency and dates fields | Display 310, 321, and 362 fields (serials) | Need to add new field to view settings to see it. | |
| 111 | Create separate course title field | Otherwise course information (CNO) is sometimes deprecated in a merged record | Need to add new field to view settings to see it. | |
| 112 | Restore 'audio visual' designation | Was disabled in a previous renorm by mistake, now restored. | ||
| 113 | Remove trailing semicolon on series field | Otherwise, link fails to find the other members of the series | Critical gov't documents (production) | |
| 114 | Subject search align with display | 6XX fields with second indicators 0, 1, 2. It was reported that including other thesauri in the search index was affecting relevancy. | A simple all-CSU search for Zeichentrickfilm in sandbox returns no results. The same search in production returns 102 results. This is a gnd subject term (second indicator 7) |
