Background
ExLibris documentation: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Training/Extended_Training/Presentations_and_Documents_-_Authorities
From Phase 3:
“Local authority record conversion is not part of the migration scope of Alma. If you have locally created or modified authority records to load into your local institution, use the standard Alma loader tools post-migration. In a consortial setup, they likely reside in the Network Zone for sharing across members. Contact your local Ex Libris project team for consultation if this is relevant for your institution. ”So Ex Libris says local authority records go last - do we disagree for any reason?
Questions to consider
What local authorities files do campuses have?
What information is in them that we want to port over?
What do campuses want to use local authorities for (i.e. anything that would wind up in an NZ bib or just for local reference?)
Should they live in an IZ or in the NZ?
Do local decisions about certain LCSH terms have any bearing on this (Illegal Aliens, for example)?
How many UC campuses wan to keep local authority records?
Pros and cons for using IZ vs. NZ for campus authority records?
What do we want to test during the Vanguard stage?
Who (campuses or SILS groups) needs to talk to Ex Libris and when?
