[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Vandelay 2.2. question

Hi Kathy,

Just tried my overlay set-up and it worked beautifully. Matches and overlays
abound. Thanks so much for your help. 

Except....when I do an overlay with Z39.50, I can get the TCN to change to
the OCLC number. I didn't get that result with my Vandelay overlays. I want
to, very much. Is there a setting I missed that would make that happen? Or
is it a programming oversight, that the two types of import/overlay don't
achieve the same results?

Again, thanks for any insights.

Mary

Hi Mary, 

I can answer your question about the 001 field. You need to make the 001
field a record attribute to match on it. You can do so by going to Server
Admin < MARC record attributes. I've attached a screenshot of the 001 record
attribute we set up when testing. 

Once you set up the record attribute, you can build a match set based on the
record attribute (you may need to first reboot the client). Instead of
selecting MARC tag and subfield when building your match set, click the
"record attribute" button. The new attribute you just created should be
available in the list.

I hope this helps!

Kathy
