[Evergreen-catalogers] Cataloging module functions?

[Laura Rudynski]

1) If you have your own library included in you Z39.50 search you can
search for your own record and import a second copy (this option will only
work once).

You can also use the flat text editor to copy (ctrl c) the MARC record and
paste it (ctrl v) into a new blank record.

2) The validation button in the MARC editor is for Authorities.

Hi all,

Someone has given me a list of things they’d want for cataloging in an ILS,
and I’m trying to compare what I know of Evergreen cataloging with their
list. I’m not certain of a few things, and I wonder if anyone could help me
out.

      1.       Can you “clone” a bib record in Evergreen? In other words,
      take an existing bib and make a copy of it to use as a basis for a
      new bib record, such as for a new edition of a title you already own?
      The closest I see among actions for bib records is to open a record
      in a new tab, but that just gives you the same record gain, same
      Database ID and all.
      2.       Validation. I know there’s a validation button in the MARC
      editor, but I can’t see that it does anything. What I was looking for
      was some sign the bib’s tags were being checked against a MARC 21
      validation table.
      3.       Is any validation of MARC tags done when a record in
      imported, either through Z39.50 or the batch importer?

Thanks!

Mary
