MSUL Cataloging & Metadata Services Team Meeting 2024-03-05

947, 948, and 949 combo going away

New approach will use one single 949 for all instance, holdings, & item data

• Subfield codes will be different, but format will be the same

Documentation available on Confluence.

Awaiting service patch 2 on dry run environment later this week.

• Try out in test environment before we switch to Poppy

• Autumn will remap the job profiles once service patch 2 is installed on our test environment

Autumn asks us to create the constant data now, so that it’s ready when we switch to Poppy.

• A template is available on both the Confluence site and in Connexion’s shared constant data.

• Autumn is available to help - please reach out if you have questions!

• Once you create it, you can test it on the test environment on Friday.

Tim noted that call number browse isn’t working in Dry Run or Test, but they’re behaving differently. Autumn advised waiting until service patch 2 to see if the problem resolves itself.

• We can submit tickets in EBSCO Connect or the FOLIO Product JIRA site. 

• Check in on Slack re: call number browsing issues.

• We’ll also check JIRA to see if this has been reported.

Test environment vs Dry run environment

• Recent snapshot of our production database with the newest release applied. It’s slightly more current and we have temporary access when we are testing a new release.

Sierra order records – sometimes they’re in FOLIO, sometimes they’re not – and what to do about it

• Orders in Sierra older than 2 years old did not come over to FOLIO (though the bibliographic record migrated).

• Try searching orders app and inventory app by title to see if it comes up

• Alternatively, search Sierra archive to search for Sierra order number to retrieve related Sierra bibliographic number, which can be searched in FOLIO (with a ‘.’ at the beginning).

• If none is found, go ahead and bring in a new record.

RDA Phase 1 webinars open to all

• First one on March 13 - Wednesdays at 2pm from March-May and will be recorded

• Expect calendar invitations from Autumn

Training for next CMS on new functionality in Poppy:

• Using data import to create multiple holdings and item records
