Recommendation

Campuses should enable the following configuration with the settings below:

...

You should now have 2 NZ-linked records but one of them will be suppressed. Click on the suppressed record and in “record “editing actions” select “enhance the record” and select “allUC Mark NZ bib for deletion” to flag the record for deletion by CDL. This rule will also move the OCLC 035 data into a 935 to prevent further multi-matches while the bib is still in the NZ. 

...

Campus catalogers will run into situations where they have an OCLC record that now matches multiple bibliographic records in the Alma NZ due to merges in OCLC. In order to keep the Alma NZ in line with the OCLC database as much as possible, campus catalogers can resolve these multi-matches without needing to notify any system-wide groups. Each campus should determine which staff are able to resolve multi-matches since it involves merging records and moving inventory for other campuses. Generally, catalogers should only resolve matches for resources that their campus holds. In addition, catalogers can make updates in Connexion and then wait for the WorldCat daily updates to merge the records at the system-wide level (after September 20, 2021). Lastly, RMFG will issue additional documentation to ensure bound-with relationships are identified and retained to the extent possible.
