Procedures
Procedures developed in support of the policy Retaining and Deleting MARC Fields in OCLC Records.
To automatically delete fields (e.g., 029) upon export of bibliographic records from OCLC:
In Connexion, go to Tools > Options
On the Export tab, click the “Field Export Options” button
In the “Fields to Delete -- Bibliographic Records” box, enter 029
Click “OK”, then “Apply” and “Close”
The 029 field must also be deleted from any OCLC records that are batch loaded.
Note: Fields 029, 936, 938, 984 will be deleted from daily OCLC record updates. Shared Import Profiles for NZ will also remove these fields (see Alma Daily OCLC Bib Record Updates & OCLC WorldShare Collection Manager).
