Alma functionalities as tools to facilitate changing cataloguing practices

Session Abstract

The implementation of PrimoVE in the architecture of the LIBISnet consortium (2021-2022) posed quite a few challenges to our network where cataloguing had increasingly built on local practices that often deviated from the MARC21 standard. Cataloguers were used to 1-key solutions and heavy normalisation. Changing this to a practice where key values must be entered or checked in several places in the record would make cataloguing more complex, less efficient and – errare humanum est – less consistent.
Using Alma functionalities such as validation exceptions, normalization on save and record enhancements, a solution was developed allows the cataloguer to quickly make a basic choice by entering a local 'master key' but leaves execution in the record to the system. This same solution is also very useful to ensure consistency and efficiency in common workflows such as copy cataloguing and duplication records to register both physical and electronic versions of a document.
