Updates (please add in advance)

10 mins

Liz:

  • There are some significant lags between when jobs are marked “complete” in Alma and when they’re actually done. Gem ran a norm process to remove 856 fields from UCSD NZ records and it took a day or so after the job was marked finished for the fields to be removed (side note: can we start removing the rest of the 856 fields?)

  • Liz will be at the IC meeting on Thursday

UCB:

  1. As of Monday- no more Alma password. Instead we get into Alma using our CalNet i.d.

  2. Working groups still working on How we’re going to train.

3. Our affiliated libraries are trying to coordinate better with us. Lots of non-heretofore people are still in the dark too much. Implementation group will talk about this.

Hermine:

  • Lots of experimenting with the Connexion Gateway. See Basecamp thread for questions about local extensions showing up in the NZ (and then sometimes disappearing after a few minutes or hours… but sometimes sticking).

  • Tentative one-by-one cataloging workflow: export from Connexion using NZ Gateway. Either include local fields and add $9 local using norm rule (original plan); or, add local fields in Alma using template.

  • Still getting a lot of questions about authority control workflow.

  • Trying to remember 880 fields when writing norm and merge rules. I don’t think there’s a way to tie them to their linked fields, so they are tricky to manage.
