  1. On your MARC, Edit and GO! Otherwise known as… Dealing with Idiosyncrasies of Data Loading

  2. Custom Conversions How to Convert Standalone Systems MARC Data? If it looks like this: 852 1$aIN$b$f$g1$h92 ANGELOU$i$j$k$l$m$n$o2200600525086 $p32006005051551$q$r$s$t$w1$z$5Y$620050527$9P20.00usd How do you make it look like this: 852 $h92 ANGELOU$p32006005051551$9P20.00usd

  3. Custom Conversions Key to Success  I • Item data format conforms to INFOhio Vendor specs http://www.infohio.org/Documents/CRCTF/VendorMARCRecordSpecs200606.pdf 852 $h92 ANGELOU$p32006005051551$9P20.00usd

  4. Custom Conversions Steps to Convert Standalone data: • Perform MultiLIS dry conversion • Manual analysis of the data - Specifically evaluate the item data - What tag(s) and subfields hold item data? - How does this item data map to INFOhio’s specs for 852 subfields • Create pre-processing table using MultiLIS conversion tables to convert holdings to INFOhio’s standard format

  5. Custom Conversions Steps to Convert Standalone data (cont.): • Convert marc data with pre-processing table until item data is “INFOhio compatible” • During this time use outformat=1 rule in pre-processing table (to output Mlis format data) Newtape –a <pre-table> <datafile> -c <filename.c> -j <filename.j> • Once table is working as desired, change rule to outformat=0 • Reconvert so data is output in MARC output • Once holdings data is INFOhio compatible form use standard procedures. • @lis_mgr:sirsi_analysis.com • @lis_mgr:sirsi_conv.com • Use procedures for loading MARC data in Sirsi

  6. Custom Conversions • INFOhio Tech Services will help create simple pre-processing tables • You may contract with INFOhio Tech Services if complex table pre-processing is required to convert the data.
