[Wactclc-alma] Extracting records for reclassification project

[Guidry, Wade]

Elena,

Does Backstage provide any guidelines or technical specifications on exactly how they want the data to be prepared?

I'm guessing that if you use the export bibliographic records job, with the "Expand Routine" option set to "Add Holdings Information", that will give them the info they need.

This option will put information about items in the 945 field of the exported MARC records.

Subject: [Wactclc-alma] Extracting records for reclassification project

Hi there:

We are reclassifying our fiction collection and using Backstage Library Works to help with this project. For the project, Backstage is wanting the bib and item records, and our project manager asked if we could send both types of records to them in one file. Now, I know how to extract the bib records from the system for export, but item records, not so much. Also, do I need to worry about holdings records?

Has anyone ever done a project like this using Alma before? Any words of wisdom?

Thanks in advance for your help, as always!

Elena
