Questions to ask before buying
Is this a subscription or purchase?
Will the vendor provide valid MARC
records?
Do the records contain unique ID
numbers, preferably in the 035 field?
What is the total size of the record load?
Will there be future updates or deletions?
Is the vendor website OpenURL
compliant?
Do I want these records added to OCLC?

Cataloguing overview: LDR/06
Position 6 = File type
“a” = language materials
“m”= electronic resources
Nonmanuscript language material, microforms of nonmanuscript
language material and essentially textual electronic resources.
Use code “m” only for these general classes of electronic
resources: computer software, numeric data, computer-oriented
multimedia and online systems or services.
This revised definition stipulates that catalogers code
electronic resources for the significant aspects of their
content, as opposed to their carrier
Example: Serials Solutions’ records are incorrectly coded as
'computer files' in the leader
Cataloguing overview: LDR/07
The Leader/06 determines which 008 code (Fixed-length
data elements - General information) is used and the
appropriateness and validity of other fixed data elements in
a record.
Leader/07 (bibliographic level) indicates whether language
materials are monographs or serials
Cataloguing overview: 006 field
006/00 = Form of material
“m” = Computer file
006/09 = Type of computer file
“d” = Document
Cataloguing overview: 007 field
007/00 = Category of material
“c” = Computer file
007/01 = Special material designation
“r” = Remote
Cataloguing overview: 856 field
Permanent URL resides in 856 $u
The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), for example a URL or
URN, provides electronic access data in a standard syntax
OLS recommends that libraries set up their local website
and proxy configuration file to proxy the catalog
Replaces previous practice of appending local EZproxy prefix to
the beginning of each URL
MarcEdit
MarcBreaker
Breaks a MARC record into MarcEdit's mnemonic file
format (*.mrc), the Library of Congress's MARCXML
Schema, and Dublin Core
Use this function to move vendor records from *.mrc or
*.dat formats into the *.mrk format used in the
MarcEditor
MarcMaker
Make MarcEdit's mnemonic file format back into MARC
(*.mrc) from the MARC Tools dialog and the MarcEditor.
Use this to convert completed and saved *.mrk files
back into the *.mrc file format used in record loads
MarcEdit
MarcEditor
Allows users to interact directly with their MARC records,
use this function for viewing and editing
The file types *.mrk and *.mrk8 are associated with the
MarcEditor function
Editing functions include:
Get field counts
Add and delete fields
Edit indicator data
Edit subfield data
Swap field data
Create and assign constant data
Validate MARC records
Submitting a load request
Send in an e-book form
Collection codes
Public notes
Location display
Load into training
Review
Load into production
Removing records from Aleph
Complete sets by system number range
Delete items by unique identifier
Need for identifier, preferably in the 035
OLS will centrally delete from Aleph only in
batches of 50+ records
