[Wactclc-alma] jobs

[Whittaker, Shellie]

Just a follow-up to our work editing the Safari ebook records.

I have been discussing the issue with Wade.

We have not answered the question of why we can edit the linked records one by one, but not in batch.

However, the bigger question turns out to be should we be editing them at all.

The edits we made (removing the 710 from those few records), actually changed the shared record in the community zone.  I didn't realize that we (any Alma user) could change those records.  I guess I understood that there was a local copy created that was then linked to the CZ record (so I'm a bit confused now).

This general topic...about our ability to edit CZ bibs and under what circumstances that might be appropriate may come up in this mornings 10am meeting.  Wade like to talk about issues that have come during the past week.

So, I'm still thinking about this, but I haven't reached a conclusion.

More later...

Hi Amy,

We can certainly do this kind of work in batch.  It's done using normalization rules...actually, normalization processes.

First thing to do is create a normalization rule in the metadata editor.

I find that the best approach is to find an existing rule that is similar to what you need and tweak it.

I'm happy to lend a hand creating the rule and working through the rest of the steps.

I am investigating my first "job" in Alma.  I have a set of 20 records (portfolios) saved, from which I'd like to delete a 710 field that contains a certain phrase.  I don't see a job listed that would allow me to select this kind of parameter.  Is this something I have to do one at a time in MD Editor?  It's certainly small enough to do it that way but I also thought it would be a good test set.
