[Wactclc-alma] Cataloging question

[Thomas, Kirsti]

If they're from the community zone, then we're not allowed to touch them.  :(

Community Zone records belong to everyone and any edits that you make for your own local environment carry over to all the other Alma libraries. Another library may want the 245$h there and may have procedures that rely on the subfield being there.

There may be a way that you can change the Primo display to *not* show the 245$h

We've been importing OCLC records for ebooks that we buy (i.e. have a long-term/perpetual access license for), and then relinking the CZ portfolio record to the OCLC bib.  The OCLC bib records often have additional subject headings and usually follow RDA cataloging standards (which don't use the 245$h). I don't know how sustainable that will be in the long run, but it's working for now.


It will be ok!

Hi Kirsti,

They're from the Community Zone.

Are the records with subfield h [medium] from your ebook vendor or are they from the Alma Community Zone?

Subject: [Wactclc-alma] Cataloging question

Hi all,

We recently purchased some ebooks, and a few are displaying in an unexpected way whenever the title field includes subfield $b (remainder of title) in combination with subfield $h (medium). Here's an example:

When I remove subfield $h from the title field, it displays like this:

[cid:image002.png at 01D71752.7A6622B0]

My question is, does anyone know of any reason I can't just remove that subfield? The medium is included elsewhere in the record, so it seems kind of superfluous, but I thought I would check in to see if anyone has a better solution.

Thanks,
Clare
