Background

When importing records into the NZ, management tags can be used to suppress bibliographic records from display in Primo and to synchronize holdings with OCLC.

Policy Statement

The task force recommends that NZ import profiles not suppress NZ bibliographic records from Primo. The Orbis Cascade Alliance has found that suppressing at the bibliographic level may have negative consequences on collection analysis and statistics.

Exlibris documentation on managing records in a Network Zone states that “publishing to OCLC is processed at the local institution level since this process is used to expose institutions' physical holdings. Each institution in a collaborative network determines how bibliographic and holdings records are published.”

The task force recommends that OCLC holdings be updated through an automatic job established in each campus’ instance of Alma.

Best practice recommendations

Suppress record/s from publish/delivery should be unchecked.

Synchronize with OCLC should be Publish Bibliographic records.
