[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Serial distribution set-up question

[Mary Llewellyn]

Hi Tim,

 

So, if you haven't loaded any MFHD data, would it be appropriate to use "Do
not use record entry"? 

 

Thanks,

 

Mary

Mary,

 

I haven't fully tested them and Dan Wells spoke about them at the conference
in his presentation but they have to do with holdings display between the
MFHD and the Evergreen generated holdings statements.  For instance, "Use
record entry only"  should only display the MFHD and not the evergreen
generated holdings statement.

 

I think Dan had better details in his description.

Hi all,

 

We are now on Master/2.4 and I have some questions about some fields in the
distribution screen set-up. 

 

1.       What is the Legacy Record entry? How is it used? When I click in
it, I see a list of numbers. Are these from other subscriptions? Can we
safely skip this field?

2.       The summary method field requires an entry. The choices are 

Add to record entry

Merge with record entry

Use record entry only    

Do not use record entry.

 

What are the implications of these choices? We are entering our magazine
data manually, so there are no 85x tags involved. 

 

Thanks,

 

Mary
