[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Loading MARC order records from vendors

[Hardy, Elaine]

Ann-Marie,

 

The 9xx field for holdings is configurable. In PINES, we use the 962. From
our set-up documentation and manual, which is still in draft form and not
posted yet:

 

The 962 tag will be used with the following subfields:

 

|b  Policy name = OWNING library

|c  Shelving/copy location

|f   Fund code

|g  Circulation modifier

|j  Call number

|p  Price

|q  Quantity

|u Barcode

|x  Other item attributes needed (ref/non ref; holdable/not holdable;
circulating/not circ;     visible/not visible) each item attribute gets a
separate |x

 

Additional Notes:

*       No currency symbol ($) in the price field

*       With the exception of subfield x, subfields with no data must
contain a single character of any type. Subfield x is the only subfield
which can remain empty.

 

Each library system/consortium can have their own 9xx and subfields
defined for their unique needs. There may be required information within
the field - i.e. Owning library, that others can assist you with. But, it
is my understanding that the specific field and subfields are configurable
otherwise. You may find that different Evergreen libraries will have
different fields/subfields; but, I believe a system or consortium should
have the same holdings field and subfields defined for the group as a
whole. For example, all PINES libraries would use the above configuration;
but Sitka uses a different one.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Loading MARC order records from vendors

 

Hi everyone,

 

I'm hoping you might be able to help me. YBP Library Services is a book
vendor, and we have a few customers who use Evergreen. There are some who
want to order on YBP's system and then load MARC records with order data
in 9xx fields to create bib records and order records in Evergreen. Based
on the documentation I've found, this seems to be do-able. 

 

However I can't find any details regarding the actual 9xx data. Is it
required to send the order data in certain 9xx fields, or is that
configured by the library within Evergreen? If there are specific 9xx
fields or order data elements that we should be outputting, I would be
most grateful if someone could point me to the details. 

 

In the Sitka documentation, I did find this:

A 970 holdings tag with subfields o, q, f, and e must included in each
MARC record for the purchase order to successfully activate.

 

But then I couldn't find anything explaining what should be in those 970
fields.

 

Thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can provide.
