Reviewed outstanding tasks

Data cleanup session with Ex Libris was useful (somewhat) for the people who attended, but all the documentation is only available on Basecamp, so not shareable

• TJ Kao will add meeting materials to the group shared Google Drive so everyone can access from now on

Working Copy of Phase 4 Data Cleanup Spreadsheet

Discuss questions/comments coming from campuses based around data cleanup (i.e. How do I identify these records? Is there a way to do this in Alma?)

All

• Identify those lines that are easy to cleanup in Alma?

• Specific lines discussion:

  • Mark on the fly records – Those campuses currently in Alma struggle to identify these records.

  • Non-MARC records, or records with fields with non-MARC tags. These primarily apply to Millennium (not Alma, and not WMS). UCSD has identified these and will be checking in the vanguard load

  • Records with incorrect type value in LDR 06 – this might be solved after migration if RMFG decides that we’ll be working with OCLC bib updates. This can be managed post-migration

  • Local notes in fields that are not local (e.g. 500 note)

  • Records with incorrect 2nd indicator in 856-- doesn’t matter so much when you’re in Alma; only important in P2E process. SD defined this cleanup in their export (didn’t cleanup w/in Millennium)

  • Wrong 856 2nd indicator-- this would have an impact on the P2E process if it causes a link not to generate a portfolio

  • Item record internal notes – most Alma campuses are cleaning these up post-migration. Analytics will not be able to search items from other campuses.

• Between now and next week, if anyone has any question about how to do anything, make comment in spreadsheet – ask system-specific questions about how to achieve searches, etc.

• Ryan Finnerty to share create list search strategy with Eileen Pinto (Unlicensed) in order to identify dummy unicode character:
  Records with this character are in review file #80

You can find these records by searching for {u3013} in the 880 field.

According to this webpage, it’s called the Geta Mark
