Recommendation

RMFG does not have any decisions to standardize holdings or item records at this time. 

Some very basic best practices:

Reasoning

Campus data is migrating from a variety of systems and standards as it is, few of which can be adjusted prior to migration. In addition, there is a strong sense that some groups like the Special Collections CKG and Archives and Special Collections Escalation Leaders will have areas that they wish to standardize after a period of review. Instead of trying to predict those needs now, RMFG would prefer to allow campuses to get comfortable in the new system and provide time for various groups to surface issues for discussion.

 

Background

SILS is the first time that all 10 UC campuses will be using MARC21 holdings.

Item records in Alma are unlike item records in many other ILSes and will require non-Alma campuses to decide which fields to use and how to do so.
