[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Records displaying in the catalog

[Hardy, Elaine]

FYI—aspects of the vocabulary around transcendent sourced items in
Evergreen is problematic and not exactly accurate, from a cataloger’s
perspective. The bibliographic record source is still your bibliographic
utility (such as OCLC or SkyRiver), a Z39.50 library, etc. What is
transcendently sourced is the actual item, or rather, how you access the
item is transcendent.  You can have, for example, a record imported from
OCLC that is sourced as NetLibrary. The bibliographic source of the record
is OCLC; but the access/source of the item is Netlibrary.

Hello



The quick answer is yes.  There are a couple of ways to do this easily,
but typically you would assign a record or group of records a
"bibliographic source" that has a flag set to "true" for OPAC public
display. In Evergreen documentation, you might see this referred to as
either a "transcendent" source or transcendent record (meaning
bibliographic records that should display in the OPAC even if no copies
are attached).



When you import eBooks MARC records, you can select from a drop down list
an appropriate record source you have already created - say "NetLibrary" -
and those records will be set to display in your public catalogue without
copies attached.  You can also add or change the record source from within
the MARC Editor.

New to Evergreen and as we contemplate converting our records I am curious
about how people handle ebook and serial records which don't need
barcodes. Is it possible to add records to the catalog and have them
display to the public without adding items?

Thanks,
Trisha
