Local notes in NZ

Decide how to proceed to fix TOC overflow 590s

Determine if we want to enable the 590 restriction in production

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14vLqeSPXTomdJHUB1gQjzpR5RzNOrlNsXxBbqeyYIN8/edit?usp=sharing (physical items)

  • UCSC, UCSF, UCLA, UCR Local notes in NZ have been resolved; UCB has batch updated local notes where they are the only campus, but still needs to resolve local notes where other campuses also have holdings

  • UCLA & UCB have asked Casalini to stop adding 590s to their shelf-ready records.

  • UCB has asked Backstage to add 590s with $9 LOCAL in their shelf-ready records.

  • TOC continuation 590s. Investigation of example record (OCLC #47869352) that loaded after the 9/19/23 WorldCat Update: confirmation that the 590 is in the WorldCat Update file. Ticket has been filed with OCLC.

  • Sandbox configuration testing results for for 590:

    • Manually adding or editing a 590 in Alma is prohibited.

    • Adding a 590 as a local extension is fine.

    • Adding 590s through the Connexion Gateway or an import profile will let it in, but it will have a red symbol next to the field.

    • Can delete 590s in NZ records.

Ideally, we would like to get updated reports periodically (e.g., monthly)

 

@Hermine Vermeij Rerun Local notes in NZ (physical) report and send to RM-CMOS
@Hermine Vermeij Work with Gem to update configuration to restrict editing 590 fields on production (after clean up is complete)
