[Wactclc-alma] [EXTERNAL*]- FOD duplicates upon import

Wed Oct 13 08:44:15 PDT 2021

Thanks, Ryer. I grabbed the file, so you can unshare it now.

Unfortunately, it's kind of impossible to compare anything to the FOD CZ titles. The FOD CZ records only contain title field, and a lot of the titles are so general that accurate matching just doesn't work.

So, I agree with the previous thoughts that the FOD CZ collections still aren't an adequate substitute for creating a local collection.

Hi Wade,

Here is a link to our latest MRC file from FOD.
 [Image removed by sender.] AllRecords_102873_10-05-2021.mrc<https://centralia-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/ryer_banta_centralia_edu/EXZqGxZEeMFPinjZgl2ewToBVV6W8ezyQ9lzdD7iT3VsQw?e=UgQzTC>

I was surprised how easily I found titles that we're represented in the CZ. Then it also sounds like cataloging detail is a serious limitation too.

Thanks Kirsti for the additional suggestions. I'll get into that soon and reach out if/when I get stuck.

Ryer, can you share your FOD records file with me? I'm sure too big to email. You'd need share via Google docs or something.

I'd like to compare to the CZ collections, to see how well the CZ collections line up.

Maybe we can start recommending CZ activations for these collections.

Thanks again. Mine is very, very close to yours, but there we a few items that will hopefully make all the difference.

Hi Ryer:

Yes. We use the same profile. Here's the section where you set it to accept deletions.

Here's what the Inventory Information tab looks like:

Hi Elena,

Ah yes, I think you may be on to something. That would make sense. Thank you for including these sceenshots of your settings. That will help me better match to something that is known to work.

Do you load the deletions with this same import profile? In the past I ran into problems with mine, but I should probably try again.

Thanks a ton!

Hi Ryer:

We had that issue and then we realized was a problem with our import profile for Films on Demand. The big issue for us was how we did matching. It also was making us do a lot of manual overrides -  mostly when new episodes of a series were loaded.

Anyway, we consulted with Wade, and here's what we ended up with for the matching

section of the profile

and it seems to work fine now. We do the updates regularly so we load the additions and the deletions once a month and it seems to work well.

Good luck!

Subject: [EXTERNAL*]-[Wactclc-alma] FOD duplicates upon import

Hi everyone,

Yesterday's conversation reminded me that I was due for my Films on Demand update. We have been uploading MARC records into our own maintained electronic collection. I typically withdraw all portfolios, then import all records fresh. It has been long enough that I'm a bit hazy on our process and maybe one of you has a better process.

But I'm noticing some related issues with my import so far.

1. It didn't complete, it's been stuck at 27%, and has many that are marked as requiring manually match handling. I have looked a few matches and each one is matched to a few other records that the same item, just slightly different cataloging. I'm not sure how to best handle these, and would love to not deal with thousands of these cases.

2. Of the portfolios it did successfully import, many are duplicated. Worse yet, some have the right linking for us, with our EzProxy links, while others with a non-EzProxy link fail.

3. Of the titles that have imported, many are not represented in the Community Zone collections with portfolio lists that are likely to represent our collection (Films on Demand selective package with 47449 portfolios and Films on Demand Master Academic 93405). My package supposedly has 43951 titles for what it's worth. I know there is a frequent data delay, but I came across enough discrepancy already to raise concerns about using the CZ collection.

Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
