Common Project TypesCommon Project Types

Type When to use . . .

Reclamation •Holdings not fully maintained in WorldCat

•Cannot identify when to set/cancel holdings

•Need to sync WorldCat holding with OPAC

Retrospective •Holdings gaps in WorldCat

•OCLC control-number gaps in local OPAC

Ongoing batchload •Keeping things up-to-date moving forward

Other processesOther processes

• Symbol Flips

• Branch Level Scoping (full WorldCat Local only)

• Local Holdings Records Updating service (LHRUS)

• Create LHRs from Bib Data (BHR processing)

•Merged local fields into copies of OCLC-MARC records

•OCLC numbers in 001 prefixed with ocn or ocm

•OCLC number in 035 $a prefixed with “(OCoLC)”

•Custom post-processing is possible

Example:

001 ocm00576136

035 |a(OCoLC)576136

* Unlike the first two output options, there may be costs associated with producing full OCLC-MARC records.

Batchload Project ProcessBatchload Project Process

•Step 1: Ordering (Library)

•Step 2: Submitting Files to OCLC (Library)

•Step 3: Pre-processing/Matching (OCLC)

•Step 4: Reports and/or Record Output

Step 1: Ordering Step 1: Ordering

To initiate a Batchload project & obtain a Project ID, complete an order form.

Online Service Center (OSC):

or

“Old” Batchload Order form:

Step 1: Ordering from OSCStep 1: Ordering from OSC

Criteria for OSC form:

• Setting holdings single (1) OCLC institution symbol

• Bibliographic data is MARC21 (MARC8 or UTF8 encoded)

• Do NOT need OCLC-MARC record return

Automated workflowAutomated workflow

• Automated messaging: Project ID

• Standard setup created based on order criteria

• Project Active upon file receipt

• Standard output options are acceptable

Step 1: Ordering via “old” Batchload Order formStep 1: Ordering via “old” Batchload Order form

Criteria for “old” Batchload Order form:

• Group batchload (setting multiple OCLC Institution Symbols based on library identifier within record)

• Non-MARC input data

• OCLC MARC Records return

Manual WorkflowManual Workflow

• Project logged manually, Project ID e-mailed

• Files Queued for Database Specialist Evaluation

• Translation Table work for Branch Holdings/Groups

• OCLC MARC output: local data mapping requirements

• If Non-MARC, script to convert to MARC

• Custom processing setups

•https://www3.oclc.org/app/batchload/

Step 2: Submitting Files to OCLC Step 2: Submitting Files to OCLC

• Electronic Data Exchange (EDX)Electronic Data Exchange (EDX)• Account created for Institution Symbol

• Distinct User Name & Password

• FTP

• Larger files (up to 90,000 records each)

• OCLC Product Services web (PS Web) • Web application

• Log on with OCLC autho/password (Connexion, FirstSearch, ILL)

• Upload in browser

• Smaller files (fewer than 40,000 records each)

Step 2: File submittalStep 2: File submittal

•DATA file (contains MARC records)

DATA.D091101

•LABEL file (plain text file about the DATA file)

Qualifiers available for each category:

(1) Language of Cataloging (040 $b)

(2 ) Date of Publication (from Fixed Field)

(3) Derived Title Key (from 245, 246 & 247)

(4) Material Type (Book, Electronic Resource, VHS, Score, etc)

Step 4: Reports and/or RecordsStep 4: Reports and/or Records
