Hi all,

Does anyone load Hoopla records to their catalog? It looks like we'll be doing that for a while, but I've run into a problem loading the records via the client.

We just made a change with Hoopla in the 856 tag configuration. Instead of one URL with a string of $9 subfields with all the subscribing libraries, we decided to have multiple 856s, one for each library.

Example:

They don't load, however, and I wonder if it's because 856$u is identical on each line.

(we've been changing $x to $y to allow the message to display. It's never been a problem.)

I was very much looking forward to the new format, thinking it will make management much easier as libraries add and drop their subscriptions. This recent setback has been disheartening.

We don't have any plans to move to Aspen.

Any advice will be appreciated.
