Separate records for different formats

Provide an update and time for discussion

10 mins

Liz/All

“Some Alma workflows are actually designed to expect a shared record for serials even though others are not. 

We had many records migrate with different formats attached, e and print, print and micro. It is something libraries will want to clean up on the other end but it doesn't stop the records from migrating. 

If a campus intends to migrate its order records, they will want to separate print and electronic. Not doing this cause the majority of our order record issues post-migration that have resulted in having to close and reopen many many records. “

So there is no technical issue with migrating composite records but they do create the need for a lot of cleanup and there are discovery issues (so not technically Alma but Primo)

If each thing has its own holding record, it’s okay

Complete in drive doc

May 4th (Monday), ExLibris presentation on NZ

Current Alma users: Community Zone is electronic resources only, bib record attachment comes after the activation

Can unlink NZ from IZ records (to reject changes/updates), but will not be able to participate in consortial loans

Once you link IZ to a NZ record, can’t configure which fields to “accept”
