Recommendations

  • If they are concerned about losing data, campuses should consider copying 856 fields into a 9XX field of their choosing (between 950 and 999) or into the 856 of a holdings record

    • It is unclear whether copying data into a holding record has any more value than leaving it in the bib. UCLA may be able to test a small set of records but there is no obligation to choose a bib or holding field.

  • SCP will copy their 856 data into a 946 field

  • Campuses should document where 856 data has been copied

  • Generally, campuses should not remove their data from existing 856 fields prior to submitting files to Ex Libris

Reasoning:

Since there is some uncertainty around how 856 data will migrate and what utility there will be for having that data available, campuses can decide for themselves what their preferences are. Some campuses may not have any need for that data at all while others may have vital information in fields that will not necessarily translate cleanly into portfolios during p2e. The Vanguard should be used to test various methods and provide insights into future harmonization and best practices for go-live.

...

RM FG will consult with the Discovery FG to test the statement below that “existing 856 fields will not populate into Primo” since current experience with Primo at some Alma campuses varies. In addition whether those fields wind up in Primo will affect specific 856 data like finding aid links, etc.

Background

It is unclear exactly what 856 data will be retained in bibs during migration and certain subfields will not map into portfolios during the P2E process. Coverage data from $3 cannot be used to populate coverage data in portfolios

Questions to consider

Some campuses have started moving data already, is it worth creating 1 prescribed field?

Is there any advantage to using a 9XX in a bib over a holdings field
