This import profile is designed for records that include the Harvard Alma 001 MMS ID in the 001 field. No other matching criteria will be evaluated other than 001.
This profile does nothing to the bib record.
Input file must be Excel.
Results:
- No inventory will be created, unless field 049 is present. (See below for details).
- If a record is locked by a staff member it will not be overlaid.
- The incoming record will overlay the Alma record, with certain field being protected. See list of protected fields here: https://wiki.harvard.edu/confluence/x/y1HKDQE
- This profile cannot be used to map fields to holdings.
