- Non-Latin fields should be in 880 pairs
- Format: MARCXML
Matching
- If the uploaded record has an 001 and it matches an Alma MMS ID, the Alma record will be overlaid (local fields will be protected). See list of protected fields here: https://wiki.harvard.edu/confluence/x/y1HKDQE
- If the target record is locked by a staff member in the Metadata Editor, it will not be overlaid
- If the uploaded record has no 001, it will load as a new record
