Report Summary

Issue with Alma sandbox unable to recognize locally created name authority records was resolved. Local name authority records were re-keyed into the sandbox and previously created local authorities were deleted using the Delete Local Authorities job. The new name authorities were re-linked to the locally created bib records. Also, added local subject authority records to two subject vocabularies in order to assess any linking issues from using two instead of one vocabulary.

Emails were exchanged with Svetlana in order to better understand the set-up and configuration of local authorities including the option of managing all local authorities in the NZ. Task Force will discuss.

Timeline was updated in order to account for the lag in testing due to the sandbox linking issues.

DescriptionDocument on local authorities creation and use is being drafted. Continue to update the Sandbox Testing Document as we learn more from the Link Bib Headings and Bib Correction jobs.
Action ItemsDetermine best way to account for local authorities that are not subject or name records, will reach out to San Marcos about their local series management procedures, monitor Link Bib Headings and Bib Correction jobs for issues.
