This import profile is designed for vendor records that include the Harvard Alma 001 MMS ID in the 001 field. It will overlay the existing Alma record and should be used with great caution. No other matching criteria will be evaluated other than 001. 

Requirements:

  • Vendor records must be in UTF8 encoding format. Non-Latin fields should be in 880 pairs. 
  • Input file should be in MARC format (not MARCXML)
  • Vendor record must have Alma MMS ID in 001 field. If it does not match to an existing Alma record it will not load. 


Results:

  • No inventory will be created. 
  • 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


Example use case:

  • Your vendor retrieves our bib via z39.50 and updates the record in their system. They then send you a file of updated bibs with the Harvard Alma MMS ID in the 001 field

 

  • No labels
