University of Minnesota: EnvironmentEx Libris Aleph ILSDefault catalog interface is Ex Libris Primo• Deduplicates and FRBRizes ILS records

Multiple record policy since 2003

No attempt to merge batch loaded records into single provider-neutral record

Separate teams for record preparation and loading• Records are edited in MARCEdit by catalog librarians• Edited records are loaded into Aleph by Technical Services staff

overseen by systems staff.

MARCEdit used as primary editing tool; additions to some established collections edited through Aleph server-side fixes. 

University of Minnesota: Environment

17,412 ebook records batch loaded in 2011 in 125 record sets.

Objectives

Identify and categorize:• Common errors• Critical errors• Divergent practices among vendors• Inconsistent practices by the same vendor• Omissions that may potentially affect access

Other ConsiderationsImportant issues out of scope for this study:

• RDA and its potential impact on provider neutral practice• Timeliness of record availability and updates when there are additions or

access changes• Coverage (getting records for all and only the items you have)• Workflows • Redistribution (ability to share records)• Cost• Process for updates and corrections• Vendors' responsiveness to feedback• Models for collaboration

 Some of these issues are covered in a report by the Task Force on Vendor-Supplied Bibliographic Records for CIC E-Content Purchases

Methodology •PCC Provider-Neutral Record and Monograph Aggregator Vendor documents used as guides 

•Checklist of fields 

•Checklist of potential systemic problems

•List of problems found in individual records 

•Recorded data as we worked with record sets we were loading; archived original unedited records

Methodology

Methodology

Methodology

Issues• Coding errors and omissions• Compliance with PCC guidelines• Control numbers and identifiers• Issues related to derivation of records

• Crosswalking issues• Obsolete or outdated data

• Handling of URLs• Consistency

Things we can do…

•Create checklist of critical record content issues•Address crosswalking issues with vendors•Better define 856 data elements•Collaboration
