[Evergreen-catalogers] Record match set question

[Mary Llewellyn]

We have trouble with using the OCLC record attribute as a match point,
though I do see it as choice in setting up the Record Match Set.  I'm told
we'll need to re-ingest our database for our older records to be included
with that OCLC number matchpoint. That's on our to-do list. 

 

I'm not sure why you don't see it as a choice for the Record Match Set. Have
you looked at Admin/Server Administration/MARC Record Attributes to verify
it is still there?

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.

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
