Some campuses have already deleted all of there non-Special Collections RLF records and not all campuses will have the same capacity to separate their local RLF data from the rest of their records. In addition, the local campus version of a record for an RLF resource may or may not have the same OCLC number or the same level of description. Special Collections resources in particular may have fuller descriptions in local campus ILSs and so it will be worthwhile to let campuses decide whether they want to migrate their records. There are also varying needs to retain publicly-visible provenance data at some campuses. Lastly, since the final decisions around how RLF data will be managed in a SILS environment will not be made until Phase 5, RMFG agrees that it doesn’t make sense to try to find one prescriptive way to handle that data. RMFG recognizes that there are some clear impacts on discovery when multiple records are loaded for the same resource but would prefer to address those issues by suppressing/re-linking some combination of bibliographic or holdings records instead of leaving important campus data out of the migration.
