Discussion Items
Feedback on Local Tagging Guide (see file below)
Dijana has incorporated the feedback that was received.
Dijana and Stacey recommend to use 695 instead of 986 because it would be easier to facet.
For 950-959, there will be a need will work to create a mechanism to request the use for Future Consortial Use.
Reserved for EOD since 949 is not for local use any more.
Sirsi 500 field will be migrated as 500 field in Alma, but if there is information that is true local information particular to the institution it should be moved to the new recommended field (see Recommended for Data Migration table) before Cutover (May 20). The topic “What kind of information do we want in the NZ? will be discussed at a later point.
Add reference for serial control/retention in 852
Add reference that 949 should move to somewhere in 980-985, if not already done
With edits made as discussed, the Local Tagging Guide is approved.
NZ Pilot Project Update (Liana)
This is a pilot project to see how linking IZ and NZ records works in Alma.
Several colleges have agreed to participate. There will be a kick off meeting for instructions on the project. Then they will have a week to run the jobs and analyze results.
The objective is to figure out how records interact with each other and develop guidance for colleges on how to link IZ to NZ records.
Confederation would also like to participate.
