[Wactclc-primo] Import profile question

[Guidry, Wade]

Elena / Stephanie,

What vendor are the records from?

Do the records have vendor-specific ID (035) numbers? If so, what do they look like?

For vendor specific records, that you don't want to intermix with print, you can use the match method of "035 Other System Identifier", and then specify the vendor-specific prefix, whatever it might be (usually something other than the standard OCLC prefixes like 'ocm')

And you should be able to use all of the standard overlay settings to match just those identifiers, if those are the identifiers you've included in your purchase requests.

But it really depends on what your brief titles in Alma look like, and what the incoming records look like.

I looked at your recent job history, but couldn't identify any recent previous attempts.

Can you share an example of a brief title in Alma, and also what the incoming 035's look like, and where those records are coming from?

Hi Elena,

I don't know if this helps, but I'm attaching our ebook match profile for comparison. We have not any issues with it overlaying print... famous last words!

We are having a hard time importing ebooks. They are overlaying with equivalent print titles in some cases, and none of them are importing to replace the brief bib generated by our purchase requests. We know it's the match that we've chosen (I thought that extended fuzzy was the way to go, because it should check for the format in the LDR, but apparently not), but in reading the descriptions, none of the others would work, either.

Does Wade or anyone else have any ideas of which match method would work best here?

Thanks,

Elena
