Bad diacritics in courses

Ex L

College

Option 1: Correct in Sirsi prior to extract, for Cutover Load; make corrections to diacritics now in Alma, to see the result in Alma and Primo VE
Option 2: Make corrections to all courses in alma during implementation, and do not reload courses for Cutover. Corrections will be retained, but citations will be lost.
Note to ExL : La Cité will not migrate Course reserves during Cutover
Yes
No

no e-resources created for bibs with URL in 856

College

Review titles to see if additional bib IDs should be added to the Cutover P2E input list; e.g. bib with Alma MMS ID and Sirsi ID 991000140239707318 with 004/951 of 123315
Note to ExL : No action needed on this.

bad diacritics in patron extracts

College /OCLS staff doing data extracts

OCLS: extract patrons from Sirsi in UTF-8 format
College: review extracts before submitting for migration
Note to ExL : When we do the patron extract again from SIRSI, I will be expecting to see bad diacritics for older records. At Go-live, we will import only active patrons from SIS to Alma. The diacritics seem to be ok (currently being tested). NO ACTION needed.

Want to define Preferred Address as “Home” only - not “All”

Needs to be updated on the cutover field mapping form

This is what I see on the mapping form : is this correct ?

Publications du gouvernement du Canada

Portfolio (these titles are e-portfolios) They should all be under that collection.

Cantook

996=Archambault

Portfolio (these titles are e-books/portfolios. Part of the Cantook e-books collection.

Note to Jennifer : 2 important notes :

In Alma, from test load, these portfolios are identified as book-electronic (which is fine). Right now, when clicking on the holdings (electronic (1) ) the collection name is always the title of the book. This seems ok but shouldn’t it be the collection title Cantook (or I think I had put Archambault in my original P2E) ?

Also, in Primo, these e-books are identified as Database. This does not make sense to me. I know Primo codes differently it seems, but these are identified as e-books in Alma. They are part of a collection (Cantook). We don’t subscribe to the whole database (basically Cantook is the interface where the books are housed). We buy a certain number of the e-books - it’s kind of a selective package. Not a database. I don’t understand why every e-books show as Database.
