[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Setting Reading Level in the Vandelay process

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Christine,

How are you identifying reading levels in your system? Typically, this 
information would be included in the MARC record, not in the copy 
information, so you would just need to make sure that the relevant MARC 
field is included in the records you are importing. I believe it's the 
521 field, but I'm not a cataloger so I might be a little off on that.

However, I was thinking that your library might be using reading level 
as a copy statistical category? If so, I don't believe there is any way 
you can set the stat cat in the Vandelay holding import profiles. It 
would be a nice feature, though.
