[Wactclc-alma] searching for bib records without items/holdings attached

[Elena Bianco]

Thanks, Wade, yep I just figured that out. Thank you.

The other question I have is whether our import profiles from OCLC are set up correctly. If I want to make sure that the records we import are suppressed from discovery the import profile for our OCLC imports needs to have Suppress records from publish/delivery checked in Set Management Tags?

Another related question: why would records that are book-physical not show up when doing a Physical Title search?

Examples are: Man Named Dave, Driven out: the forgotten war against Chinese Americans and Drawdown: The most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming.

None of these show up when I want to limit to Physical Titles or Physical Items (which makes sense because there are no items attached).

Thanks for helping me solve the mystery...

Elena,

Try "All Titles" "has inventory" "no".

Doing so yields 344 titles in your Alma, which may sound about right.

We noticed today that we have some bib records that are showing up in Primo after they have been downloaded to OCLC, but they have no items or holdings attached.  They were never suppressed for some reason. So, I am now trying to see how many of these we have, and I am searching the repository for physical titles where "has items" equals "no," but it's not bringing up two titles that I know have no holdings or items attached.  Instaed, it is bringing up items that actually have Physical items attached. I can't tell if it's me, or if it's Alma that's messing up. I've done this search before in Alma before the new UI and had no problem. I can't tell what the issue is now.

Any insights would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Elena
