Coping with Vendor Supplied Ebook & Streaming Video MARC records
Description
Vendors of databases of ebooks or streaming video frequently supply free MARC records for the individual titles within your subscription. You may need to edit these records to improve their quality and/or to add local information to ensure access, e.g. proxy prefix. Unfortunately, maintenance of these records doesn’t end once you’ve loaded the file into your catalog. For example, new titles may be added or deleted from the collection or you’re notified that the URLs have changed because the vendor has a new platform.
This session will cover how to use the Tasks tool in MarcEdit to manage repetitive edits to MARC records prior to loading into your ILS and some tips for handling the ongoing maintenance of electronic records, e.g. Voyager batch load profiles, MS Access queries, etc.
