Resolving problem Host Bibliographic migration data using a batch process
Event part
Conference
Abstract
The University of Leeds migrated to Alma in July 2019. The migration created over 10,000 host bibliographic records, related records such as linked journal titles, that are not intended to be the final record structure and can be difficult for users to interpret when searching these titles in Primo. Since 2019 we have been manually tidying the data for each of these host bibliographic records individually; a time-consuming process with over 6,000 host bibliographic records remaining in our system to date. This year, I have developed a quicker batch process to add the correct 773 fields to the individual related titles using several tools including: Analytics, Excel, MarcEdit, Alma Merge Rules, Alma Import Profiles, and tips from AI. This process reduces the time required to fix these host bibliographic records and lowers the risk of human error when creating the 773 field data. I outline the different steps in this batch process and how this could be applied to your own institution.
