[Evergreen-catalogers] Anyone using OCLC gateway export for downloading records directly into Evergreen?

Tue Sep 14 10:18:42 EDT 2021

Hi Elaine,

It's not development in Evergreen. It starts in Connexion by setting up the
export option to go to the OCLC Gateway export. Then your IT does the setup
in the database. According to Jason, he is using the same Vandelay load
profiles we have for batch loading OCLC files, i.e. record match set,
merge/overlay, etc. We plan on testing this today on our training server so
I can let you know what happens.
