[Evergreen-catalogers] Record match set question

[Elizabeth McLean]

We are testing Vandelay features in 2.2 now and I would like to know if anyone has successfully used the 001 field as a match point for overlays and could share their experience. During testing last year I thought OCLC Number (aka 001) had been set up set up as Record Attribute but I don't see it in the drop-down menu.

Thank you,

Hi Libby,

Well, darn. I am trying to match against older records.

Thanks so much. I can stop beating my head against the wall now.

Mary

Hi Mary,

I haven't been able to test myself this since last summer, but I save this thread from an exchange between Kathy Lussier and Bill E about setting up the 001.

Bill said: "Note, though, without re-indexing existing records, the attribute will only work for incoming records or records added/edited after I created the configuration."

Hi all,

I've been working with the record match set, and want to use tag 001 as a match point. Because there's no subfield in that tag, I followed advice and set up a Record Attribute Definition for that tag, to use that attribute in the record match set. But I think I've missed something, because the loader isn't using the tag as a match point.

For the Record Atttribute Definition, I entered the MARC Tag value as 001. I left the MARC subfield field blank. I've also tried it with a % hoping it would act as a wild card. But in any load I do that would only match on tag 001, the match fails.

What have I missed?

Thanks,

Mary
