Question for those using Alma / OCLC DataSync function
by Tamsyn Bayliss 27 Mar '17

27 Mar '17

Forwarded on behalf of David Church Hello everyone, I am wanting to find out what workflow process you use when cataloguing items from scratch. Do you originally catalogue an item: A- First in your institutional catalogue and then have that new record transferred to WorldCat via DataSync (daily batch mode) OR B - First in WorldCat with Record Manager and then transfer (either item by item or a bulk process) to your institutional catalogue? Our current workflow is A but I am interested in your experience with either. We started with DataSync on 13 October 2016 and transfer of records was completely successful until 23 February 2017. Since then we have had a success rate of 70%. Plus 50 records added to our institutional catalogue before the implementation of DataSync are not yet transferred. So how has your own institution's experience been with either workflow - where have you been happy with it and where do you think it could be improved? If you are using Workflow A - would you consider switching? Any replies please send direct to me at: dchurch(a)unitec.ac.nz<mailto:dchurch@unitec.ac.nz> Many thanks, David David Church Resources Specialist (Metadata) and Research Bank Administrator Tari Whakararangi Matatiki Unitec Institute of Technology Library 139 Carrington Rd Mt Albert 1025 Auckland New Zealand New Zealand Private Bag 92025 email: dchurch(a)unitec.ac.nz<mailto:dchurch@unitec.ac.nz> Ko te tangata e rapu ana i te maunga, te tangata e tu ana ki runga.

RDA records for USBs
by Dames, Rebecca 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Kia ora koutou, Aroha mai, my apologies for the tardiness of this email. After asking for assistance with an RDA record for a book on USB a few weeks ago, I was hit with the craziness that is University O Week, add to that the fact that a lecturer ‘commandered’ the item for a couple of weeks and it all combines to mean that I only got a chance to act upon your wonderfully helpful responses yesterday. Attached is a screenshot summary of the main ways to fill in an RDA record, they’re pretty similar but it does show that even the experts disagree sometimes. I particularly found the 347 field examples really helpful. And I’m in favour of 338 Computer chip cartridge over 338 Computer disc as can be seen in the last example. I haven’t included the names of where these examples come from, partly so we can just choose the one that fits each of our institutions best without bias, and also partly (mostly) because I’ve forgotten since I pulled this together weeks ago. Ngā mihi maioha to all who responded to my call for help, ka mau te wehi! Hope to see all Aoraki cataloguers at Lincoln Public Library on Wed 22nd! Kia pai tō koutou rā Becky Dames Library Assistant, Content and Service Delivery Library, Teaching & Learning P O Box 85064 Lincoln University Lincoln 7647 New Zealand p +64 3 4230353 e Rebecca.Dames(a)lincoln.ac.nz<mailto:Rebecca.Dames@lincoln.ac.nz> | w https://ltl.lincoln.ac.nz<https://ltl.lincoln.ac.nz/> Lincoln University, Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki New Zealand's Specialist Land-Based University ________________________________ P Please consider the environment before you print this email.

MARC punctuation and Māori Subject Headings in National Library records
by Catherine Amey 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Kia ora koutou At the recent ‘Tukua’ Māori Subject Headings training workshop, it was noted that some agencies have been downloading National Library bibliographic records with Māori Subject Headings that lack the correct MARC punctuation. We understand this has caused filing and display problems in some OPACs. The problem is associated with Alma, National Library’s library management system. We have just received the good news that ExLibris are working to fix this MARC punctuation problem, which should be resolved by December 2017 – still quite a long way away, but at least we are making progress! Kind regards Catherine Catherine Amey Authority Record Co-ordinator National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +64 4 470 4485 Extn: 3485 www.dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/>
