LTS will:
- Creating Create itemized sets of items in Alma using spreadsheet data provided by Jim Hodgson as input.
- Updating Update items identified for retention with a note in Statistics Note 2.
- Applying Apply a norm rule to add the 583 holdings linked to items in the set. Norm rule will first checking check that an 583 $f ReCAP Shared Collection is not present already.
Open Questions
- Is the retention byte going to be updated also?
- Are the ReCAP commitment for specific items owned at that time, or are new acquisitions also going to be committed?
- Whose responsibility is it to develop/document/communicate policies and workflows on manual creation, maintenance, etc to make sure conflicts in coding don’t develop in future?
- Is there contention between previously entered 583 fields and current fields? This needs analysis once records have been updated.
- What is the intended workflow for items that are marked lost or missing? Do these need to be sent to collection development staff?
- Is work on this a higher priority than Google scanning processing or the creation of the metadata file for Ivies Plus?
