DMS Notes -- Feb 2009
Notes from the OLINK DMS Meeting, Feb. 2, 2009
1. 956/Bcode3 "g" - finalizing guidelines to allow all sites to complete conversion.
Use for current things we're working on.
Talk to Innovative if 956 does not display correctly.
Change from g to dash (-)
If you change from 856 to 956 in one step globally, something wrong happens. So, do a 2-step process
103422 – III PAGE NUMBER IN MANUAL
Amy at Kent. Mentally group records. First question: What products are ours? Then, figure out how to get at records
For OLINK pay-for-play titles, do NOT code as "g" but instead as dash
Pay-to-play should be 956’s.
Do 5,000 a day
Edit 956 in OCLC before exporting it – only if loader accepts 956.
Test with a ETD, using both 856 and 956. (local goes to UMI).
From Sept. 4, 2008:
Over the past several years, librarians have been working with Innovative to implement a new field -- 956 -- for institution-specific URL's for electronic resources. For example, a URL that refers to your institution's proxy can be used only by your patrons. In the central catalog, the 956 URL displays with institutional holdings, rather than in first screen of the public display. This is intended to save users from clicking on a URL that applies only to a different school.
Good examples of records with 956:
The art of the viola
Irish Women Poets
19th Century Literature Criticism
Cardozo studies in law and literature
Innovative has installed the software on all systems Release 2006 or above. The WWWOPTION for 956 is LOCALLINK_TAG. To turn it on locally, look in your test WWWOPTIONS file for LOCALLINK_TAG (probably under INN-Reach Options):
LOCALLINK_TAG=956
This WWWOPTION may be inactive. In character-based interface, if it is commented out #, un-comment it. In Millennium, if it is inactive, uncheck the inactive box to make it live. Move it from the staging directory to the live directory.
CATALOGERS: When 956 is "on" in your system, test it by adding 956 to a bibliographic record. If the record displays a URL in your local catalog, it works. Then, you can begin to use 956 for local URL's.
Our slogan "8 for All; 9 for Mine" means:
856: URL for freely available Internet resources that anyone in the world can access.
856: URL for ohiolink-wide resources, such as our electronic
journals, books, and videos.
956: URL for resources paid for by your library and/or available only to your users. These resources are restricted to your campus IP addresses or people who can log in to your proxy server.
2. Survey of OhioLINK cataloging expertise
UCin and OU to do initial test of survey.
3. Re-starting Chadwyck-Healy cataloging project - broadening participation
[see chart]. Proquest records are good records. Make a record based on proquest record, or just create a record.
ECTI. Cataloging done, but not contributed to OCLC and doesn’t have a unique URL. Cataloger needs to insert URL as 856, turn them into OCLC record. Then, create a file for other libraries, and contribute to central catalog.
Vendor-neutral monograph records? Bibco group.
Jeff to provide macros. Uses III loader to do processing.
4. Updates and discussion on Task Forces: Discovery Layer; Catalog Architecture;
Group Tech Services 2.
Discovery layer. Serial solution, oclc, index data, ebsco, etc. Work on federated searching. Encore product.
Open library environment project (OLE)
Rochester extensible catalog.
5. Cataloging non-OhioLINK electronic resources:
(1) If the vendor supplies OCLC records, the library can contribute these to Central.
(2) If the vendor supplies non-OCLC records, either suppress them from Central, or else modify the control number (001) in such a way that the records do not conflict with OCLC records.
(3) When contributing non-OCLC records, use a standard format for the 001, to avoid duplicate records.
(4) URLs that apply to certain subscribing institutions and not all OhioLINK libraries should be tagged 956.
e.g. ebrary books. Question: should we contribute them to central?
Records with prefixes. List of prefixes currently being used. What vendor records have you bought and what were their prefixes?
If you insert prefixes, you don’t need to suppress from central.
Loaders strip off prefix. Therefore, put a number before the prefix. Have a number, then 3-alpha. Run through MarcEdit before loading.
If you want to contribute non-OCLC records, DMS insists that you use a prefix (suffix), using MarcEdit. If you don’t do this, you must suppress.
