Description

The presence of records from another campus that cannot be obtained via interampus sharing or Aeon request can create a negative user experience for users. Such records should be marked for exclusion from the Discovery Network. In order to successfully exclude marked records, campuses will need to adjust their search profile configurations.

Reasoning

Background

(Go Live) Exclude Records from Discovery Network

Phase 4 determined that it was beneficial to exclude certain records from the Discovery Network. However, Ex Libris does not have this capability built in and the workaround is to add specific text in a standard MARC field because the NZ cannot “see” local fields.

Because this field would likely be displayed to users, a normalization rule is needed.

If the 520 is used, as suggested by Phase 4, then the normalization rule needs to check for the existence of the text in the 520 and only create a display when the text is not there.


( something like…

when
MARC is “520”.”a” AND NOT
MARC.”520”.”a” match “Exclude from discovery network”
then
do the things)
