[Wactclc-alma] Electronic and text of same book

[Guidry, Wade]

Jinny,

Looks like that import profile is set to "overlay" a record when an 024 or 035 match is made.

Just a guess, but what is likely happening is that the record is matched, and the existing record in Alma is overlaid.

(I think what often happens is that electronic books end up with the ISBN of the physical book).

If that's the case, one option would be to edit the import profile and set it to, upon match, 'import new record'. Then, import just that record. And then change back the import profile.

Or, create a new import profile based on the existing one, and modify it to import new record upon match. And then use that new import profile whenever you run into cases like this.

1.       "... do you mean adding a title (bibliographic) record for a title that already exists in Alma for an electronic record?
Yes.  We have an electronic record already in Alma.  The system will not let us import a physical book record. So we have instead one record with physical and electronic holding.  The title is "Windows Azure programming patterns for startups."

2. We were trying to import it via our regular OCLC/Alma  import method.  The import profile is called "A Import OCLC records to Overlay brief Alma records."

Thanks,

Jinny (And Laura)

Jenny,

By "add copy of book", do you mean adding a title (bibliographic) record for a title that already exists in Alma for an electronic record?

If so, through which process are you attempting to add the new title? The import p

I am having trouble getting Alma to let me add a copy of book if there is an electronic record in system for the same book.  Is there a setting somewhere that we should be using?  Or does anyone have any suggestions? Today I just added a holding record for hard copy to electronic record but really don't like it, feels like I am doing it wrong.
