Do not use import profiles to load bib records to the NZ until the guidelines are finalized.
The Metadata and Cataloguing Subcommittee is working on guidelines with specific instructions for using normalization and validation rules and import profiles. Please wait for these guidelines to be released before loading bib records to the NZ.Do not create new records in the NZ for now.
Until the CLO Metadata Standards and supporting tools are available and data clean up is finished, please do not create new records in the NZ. You can add local inventory to NZ if the record already exists in NZ. If you are adding a new record/inventory to your IZ, then please keep it in IZ and it can be linked to the NZ later.Do not load records for certain format types into the NZ.
The records for certain format types will not be added to the NZ. The Metadata and Cataloguing Subcommittee will provide guidance on types of resources that should not be linked to the NZ (e.g. equipment, student archives).It is recommended to pause any decolonizing the catalogue work in the IZ.
Just a reminder that colleges should not remove Library of Congress subject headings from records as set out in https://clo-collaboration-spaces.atlassian.net/l/cp/idm1wPBz. The decision has been to made to suppress these subject headings. The User Experience Subcommittee is developing a briefing note on suppressing subject headings in Primo VE that will provide an initial list of terms and instructions. OCLS is also considering the development of a shared local authority file that would assist with this suppression.
