All-chairs reviewed our governance document and escalation paths
Hermine:
Dedicated staff has finished the project to correct UCLA-contributed records that had old system (Voyager) numbers incorrectly coded as 035s with the (OCoLC) prefix (hooray!)
Used Berkeley’s method (thanks, Adam!) to test out batch merging in the sandbox.
Can confirm that it does work really nicely on multiple different situations, including multiple records linked to the same NZ record.
Next step for UCLA will be to identify which of the 22K groups of dupes we want to merge. (Ignore anything linked to CZ?).
Also, annoyingly, the duplicate title analysis report won’t indicate “preferred” or “merge” for any set of records where at least one record belongs to the NZ--so that has to be indicated manually so the merge & combine job will work.
Alma August release has five CZ “Managed by Community” collections where portfolios can be deleted by everyone
Interest in session answering questions on how campuses decide when or why to use CZ
Limited Search Functionality in Alma and Analytics
EL has been asked repeatedly to index all MARC fields. There is a limit on the number of local parameters we can set up, and there is a need to identify data that is not indexed (example, content type)
