  3. Introduction This presentation details the issues and that we encountered and throughout the implementation of the MARCIt! enhancement tool in our Aleph OPAC and how we resolved them. The benefits of single point of access, enhanced visibility, and single point of maintenance of ALL of our electronic journals were significant enough that we wanted to be early adopters. With few sites having implemented MARCIt! at the time, we discovered early on that we would need to develop techniques to deal with two primary issues.

  4. Problems Central issue: Nearly all of the MARCIt! records are not the correct version of the MARC record and, in most cases, we needed to insert local cataloging practices for optimum compatibility with our catalog. There were two different types of issues in this category: • the MARC record was for the print version of the items (97%) • the MARC record was non-enhanced (extremely brief, 8%)

  5. MARCIt! Load Statistics Initial load - 16,406 records • Only 488, 3% of MARCIt! records were “true” electronic records which means 97% of the records were not the correct record and needed some level of modification • 1,373, 8.4% of records were brief, not enhanced

  6. The Solution to Problem #2 How to Fix MARCIt! Records We decided to write a modification program that would alter the incoming records by adding important missing fields, modifying problematic existing fields, and removing other problematic fields that don’t belong in an “electronic” record

  7. Record Modifications Purpose we realized that we would have to do some correction to make records better and work properly within our system • LOCAL PRACTICE - to create consistency with existing records and local electronic journal cataloging practices (some of these changes were optional decisions) • RECORD ACCURACY - to correct the incoming record, converting most of them from print records to better electronic records according to MARC21 cataloging rules • TECHNICAL NECESSITY - to make sure records work with our indexing methods, especially virtual bases (many of these changes were necessary)

  8. Modification Rules 48 individual procedures, 3 types (see Appendix A for complete list) 1) 10 Field Additions 2) Field Modifications 3) 29 Field Deletions 39 different fields modified • some of these modifications quite complex, making additions, deletions, and changes according to proper punctuation, only in specific subfields, and/or according to record’s characteristics

  9. What Can You Do Without Programming? Field Removals • ExLibris configures a profile when you sign up for MARCIt!, it allows you to specify fields that you would like removed

  10. What Can You Do Without Programming? Field Additions/Modifications • MARCIt! interface supports addition of 245 subfield h and implements properly • If your ILS has a fix routine tool, you can probably do some basic changes

  11. Why a Programmed Solution Some modifications complex • configuring 130 or 240 requires placing word Online within parentheses if they exist, or within its own parens if they don’t: 000000003 1300 L $$aPlanning (Chicago, Ill. : 1969) changed to 000000003 1300 L $$aPlanning (Chicago, Ill. : 1969 : Online) • removal or additions of only portions of a string or subfield Maximum flexibility, relatively few restrictions

  13. Data Insertions Types of things that we add • information that is important for the indexing of electronic serials: • FMT field with content SE • properly coded 00x, control, fields (006, 007, 008) • data to make the record more valid: • uniform title, based on 245, with “(Online)” in 130 or 240 (if 1xx already exists) • data to accommodate local cataloging practices: • 902 fields that suppress and mark for deletion

  14. Data Insertions (Examples) FMT SE missing from non-enhanced records, critical field for distinguishing/indexing serials in Aleph 538 Mode of Access: World WideWeb missing from all non-electronic records 590 SFX MARCIt Record – local note inserted for selectors so that they can distinguish between subscription and aggregator when considering collections

  15. Data Insertions (Examples) 902 fields for suppress/deletion in our system, it is not adequate to only have a d in the LDR, must also have two 902 fields: 902 L $$a Supress display 902 L $$a Deleted record 02/24/2005 (might be some other field for version 16)

  16. Data Modifications Types of things that we modify • fields that were configured specifically for the print record • 130 – uniform title, add “(Online)” • 245 – title proper, add subfield h “[electronic resource]” • 362 – dates of publication, add “Print began with” for non electronic records • incorrectly cataloged fields • 856 – electronic location and access, add indicators 40

  17. Data Insertions/Modifications 006 L m^^^^^^^^d^^^^^^^^ computer file type of computer file is a document 007 L cr^mnu^^^uuuuu e-resource remotely accessed 008 L 050504uuuuuuuuuxx^uu^pss^^^^u0^^^^0eng^d form of original item electronic form of cataloged item electronic Fixed Length Data Fields (006, 007, 008) coded with “electronic” characteristics, used in indexes and virtual bases • 006s, 007s, and 008s are added when not present • 006s and 007s are all removed and re-added for ensured proper coding and consistency (006s and 007s are fairly uncommon on print records) • 008 is only modified when it is present (only doesn’t appear on non-enhanced records)

  18. Control Fields Periodicals Index, E-Resource indexes depend on FMT, 008

  19. Data Modifications (Examples) Indicators 40 on 856 missing from all records 4 in ind1 refers to http access 0 in ind2 specifies that the URL is for the cataloged item in the record, not a related item

  20. Data Deletions Types of things that we remove • information that relates only to the print item • portions of 77x fields which contains info for related title relationships (successive parent, etc.) • information that is inaccurate or undesired • “SFX” in the 003, 003 specifies the agent who’s control number is in the 001, in most instances this is the LC# • “pid=serviceType=getFullTxt” from 856, otherwise restricts our ability to display other types of targets

  21. Data Deletions (Examples) Remove 530 530 L $$aAlso available to subscribers via the World Wide Web. Remove pid=serviceType=getFullTxt from 856 because it restricts appearance of other services such as problem report form http://findtext.library.nd.edu:8889/ndu_local?sid=sfx:opac_856&issn=1402-3357&pid=serviceType=getFullTxt&genre=journal

  24. Post Implementation Issues From the initial load (approx. 11,000 records), our indexing daemon took a hit for about a day Our authority maintenance reports went through the roof, the subject report went from 5 to 73 page • authority flags for items like: $$aAutomobile industry and trade$$zJapan$$vStatistics$$vPeriodicals • wrote a short PERL program to modify the reports and pull out lines that would be ignored, brought reports back to 7 pages

  25. Post Implementation Issues Associated ISSNs http://findtext.library.nd.edu:8889/ndu_local?sid=ND:nd_cat&issn=0014-7354 • creates a messy, confusing menu • some links go to different title, might be confusing to patron • we would like the ability to control this by Source ID • useful for source index with bad data • in the catalog, may not necessary, we want more control over what the patron encounters on menu – we have a separate cataloging record for other title

  26. Benefits Source IDs differ between MARCIt! and our local catalog records which allows us to distinguish use in statistics: http://findtext.library.nd.edu:8889/ndu_local?sid=sfx:opac_856&issn=1402-3357&genre=journal http://findtext.library.nd.edu:8889/ndu_local?sid=ND:nd_cat&issn=0009-7101&genre=journal

  27. Benefits (cntd) OpenURLs act as a kind of PURL (persistent URL) for all of our eJournals • maintenance - we no longer will have to make global updates for publishers who change URL structure – one change in SFX • usability - if we cancel a journal and record is missed, user gets no full text message, not sent to site where they can’t get into the full text or are prompted to pay

  28. Benefits (cntd) Single URL in brief view opens to SFX menu and presents all “link-to” options

  29. Benefits (cntd) More options for journal retrieval in case one link has problem Added services, such as pre-filled problem report form

  30. Future Plans Planned for the June release, SFX will be able to export SFX subject categories, we may chose to map these subjects to our own locally defined subjects and add them to 695, which contain our local, indexed, subject fields

  31. Future Plans (cntd) Take information from session today and incorporate into parser Considering packaging MARCIt! records parser with a local configuration file for interested sites: #Change: Remove 003 #Purpose: Because 003 should be consistent with 001 $Apply_003_Modification = “N”; #Change: Alter existing 008 or add 008 when missing #Purpose: To identify “electronic” characteristics of record $Apply_008_Modification = “Y”;
