What to Do With OPAC-Era E-Resource Records in a Primo World?
Product or Program Track
Primo/Metalib
Session Description
Have you fully transitioned from OPAC to Primo? Is your catalog full of e-books and other e-resources from different sources which date from before the time of Primo Central Index? Are they duplicated by Primo Central? This is a challenge at any library. When you're part of a large consortium and there are multiple copies of those e-resource records in the catalog, the problem is compounded. This presentation will discuss techniques and strategies used at CUNY to handle e-resource records, with a goal of improving Primo results (while keeping OPAC fans happy a little longer).
* What metadata goes into the Primo record: Aleph vs PCI?
* Will an Aleph record provide a View Online tab?
* Conditional proxying of Aleph 856 links for Primo
* Finding broken links in the Aleph 856 field: GUI-based and batch
* Duplicate e-resource suppression: Which record to use? PCI, Aleph, both?
* In PCI, not in PCI: Getting availability right
