Oregon Summit

Although the records do have local system numbers, and could be coded for updating, the Summit systems will be moving to OCLC Local in a short while, so we will not receive updates from the Summit system.

OCLC Numbers

Most records store the OCLC number in the 001 field. We should copy these to the 035 so they can be captured and stored as OCLC numbers in the Open Library record.

take the number from the Summit 001 field, strip off "ocm" at the
beginning if it's there. If what remains is all numeric, create an 035
$a with "(OCoLC)" + the number from the 001.

001 2507014
--> 035 $a (OCoLC)2507104

001 ocm16535371
--> 035 $a (OCoLC)16535371

Some OCLC numbers will have leading zeroes. It appears that they can be
retrieved on WorldCat both with and without the zeroes. I don't know if
it makes a difference in other systems... so I guess we shouldn't remove
leading zeroes unless we discover a reason why that would matter.


Miami University, Ohio

Miami U uses OCLC numbers and RLIN numbers in its 001 field:

001 ocm02677811<br />
001 CTRG10023886-B

Some records have an 005 but not all of them.

To each record, add:

003 = OOxM

If there is no 005 field, create one using the date of the file creation (or receipt if creation isn't know).


Boston College

Old archive ID: marc_boston_college

New archive ID: bcl_marc

I see a total of
2,120,384 records
1,982,833 of which are books
137,229 are not of interest to us right now, because they are not books
322 errors

bad characters: [[/b/OL14054770M]]

Wrapped fields

Boston College are using a propriety extension to the MARC standard to store long fields. Here is an example.

Subfield 505a is 2139 characters long, it has been split over three 505 fields. The lengths of these fields in the MARC directory are 1004, 1005 and 144 bytes. The first two 505 fields end with "++" to indicate that the subfield continues in the next field. Our MARC parser expects each field to have a subfield separator after the two indicators, in this record the second and third 505 fields don't include a subfield separator.

The Boston College library the web interface fails to handle these wrapped fields correctly.

Library of Congress Data

Received

Books All, snapshot through 2006

note: Books All is records for books in all languages

Updating

By ID and date

     LOC records have these fields that facilitate updating:
            001    27016268
            003 DLC
            005 20050910172205.0
    The 001 field is the record identifier; the 003 identifies the record as coming from LOC.<br>
    The 005 is the latest update date.
    A record coming in with identical 001 and 003 but a later date should replace this one.

New vs. Corrected

     The MARC record Leader position 05 has the record status. This status is ONLY useful in LOC records (other library systems do not set this correctly. <br>
   'n' = new record   <br><br />
   'c' = corrected record<br><br />
   'd' = deleted record<br><br />
   (also 'a' and 'p', but those may not be of interest - they are variations on 'c')
    In the weekly files, it would be possible to select only new records based on this code, or to give new records priority for loading.

University of Toronto Records

Update July 30, 2008

Although many of the records contain 001 fields with some alpha-numeric contents, the U of Toronto records do not have local identifiers in them. Do not use the 001 as the local record number.

The records do not contain 003 fields.
