Link a set of records to the Network Zone – manual job – Multi Step Match Method – Draft Workflow

Background:  Upon migration, the SIRSI 035$a was chosen as the match point to link Page 1+ member institutions zone (IZ) records to the Network Zone (NZ).  As a result, unlinked bibliographic records with no SIRSI 035$a remain in each Institution Zone (IZ). Unlinked IZ records coming from the CUC may contain multiple identifiers that could be used as matchpoints.  Manual linking jobs should be attempted with the OCoLC identifier and ISBN numbers only. 

What to share:  catalogued works that have full records, eg., records from circulation/stacks locations

What not to share:  equipment records, brief records, records for faculty copies on reserve, student works, archival documents and other local works not intended for sharing.

Resource Management Configuration: go to Alma Configuration > Resource Management to enable multiple match parameters.  The match parameter that takes precedence must be listed first. (Dependency: MetCat to confirm match routine for Resource Management Configuration)

...

How to share

  1. Create and save Logical sets based on locations you wish to share with NZ (e.g., circulation, stacks). (Saved logical sets will provide a reference that will allow you monitor the amount of remaining unlinked titles for each location on an ongoing basis). 

...

  1. Itemize sets: using the ‘row actions list’ for each logical set, itemize each set that you wish to link to the NZ. Save an Excel list for each itemized set.

  2. Run the manual “Link a set of records to the Network Zone” job on the relevant itemized sets:

    • Go to:  Go to Admin > Manage jobs and sets > Run a job

    • Select “Link a set of records to the Network Zone” job

    • Click Next

    • Select the itemized set you want to link to the NZ

    • Select the Multi Step Match Method for both the serial and non-serial match methods

...

Click Next

Review the job and click Submit if correct, back or cancel if there is a mistake

Click Confirm when the Confirmation Message pop-up appears
