Knowledge Base Collection 856 Field

 Knowledge Base Collection 856 Field settings apply to knowledge base collections.

WorldCat records include 856 fields and various URLs that are not accessible to your institution. For records from knowledge base collections, Collection Manager Fundamentals removes the URLs from WorldCat records and adds your library-specific links.

Titles are often available through more than one provider. If you have a title in multiple knowledge base collections, Collection Manager Fundamentals will deliver a single record for the knowledge base title and the record will have multiple URLs. By default, your library will receive updated records when titles are available through new providers and the relevant URLs will be added in those records. Likewise, your library will receive updated records when providers no longer offer titles and the relevant URLs will be removed in those records.

If your ILS requires a separate MARC record with a single URL for every instance of an electronic title, you can select collection-level settings to have the records for a collection delivered in a separate file and select a setting to isolate the file output from other collection activity. For more information, see the knowledge base collection-level Delivery File Output settings.

How to complete the Knowledge Base Collection 856 Field settings

By default, the Collection Manager Fundamentals interface will show subfield u and value KB URL. Thus, by default, records for knowledge base titles will have your library's URL in the 856$u. Edit the default settings if desired.

To add a subfield and a value (such as "Enter Free Form Text" or "Collection Custom Text") to 856 fields:

1. Click the add icon (+) to add a field.
2. Within Add Subfields, choose z or another subfield from the drop-down list.
3. Select a value from the drop-down list. For example, select one of the following: 
   • Select Enter Free Form Text if you want the text of your choice to appear next to all of your 856 links. Once you select Enter Free Form Text, a text box will appear. In the text box, type any text you would like. For example, Click here for access.
   • Select Collection Custom Text if you want collection-specific text to appear next to 856 links in records from collections for which you have entered Custom Text. See Collection Custom Text for more information.
4. If you would like to add another field, click the add icon (+).

After your records are output, you will see the subfield and text in records from knowledge base collections: 
=856 40$uhttp://www.LibraryID.eblib.com/patr...=123456$zClick here for access

WorldCat 856 Field

Collection Manager Fundamentals will retain all of the URLs from the WorldCat record. If you enter domains in the 856 field customization settings, Collection Manager Fundamentals will retain only the URLs that match the domains you define. If a title with the same OCLC number is in one of your knowledge base collections, we will use the 856 field from your knowledge base, not from the WorldCat record.

To see examples of the WorldCat 856 field in records, see 856 field processing in records.

How to complete the WorldCat 856 Field settings

To limit the URLs in your records to those from the WorldCat record that match specific domains:

1. Enter in the Retain 856 Fields with these Domains field one or more domains you would like retained from the URLs in WorldCat records.
   Example: http://site.ebrary.com
   Example (Wiley): http://dx.doi.org/10.1002
2. The domains you enter will apply to any records output from Collection Manager Fundamentals.
   Collection Manager Fundamentals will look for an exact text match at the beginning text of URLs in 856$u. If a domain you enter does not match any URL in the WorldCat record, then all of the URLs 856 will be retained in your record. If a domain you enter matches multiple URLs, then any URLs that match the domain will be retained in your record. If you enter multiple domains, the system will look for any of those domains in the records.

To delete subfields from your records:

1. Choose a subfield from the drop-down list if you would like to delete the 856 subfield from the WorldCat record for all of your OCLC Cataloged collections.
2. Click Save.

To add a subfield and a value (such as free text) to 856 fields:

1. Click the plus sign to add a field.
2. Within Add Subfields, choose a subfield from the drop-down list.
3. Select the value Enter Free-Form Text or Transaction Type from the drop-down list.
4. If you chose Enter Free-Form Text, a text box will appear. In the text box, type any text you would like. For example, Click here for access.
5. If you would like to add another field, click the plus sign.

Local Data

You have the option to have Local Holdings Records (LHRs) interleaved with your records and/or to have Local Bibliographic Data (LBD) embedded in or interleaved with your records.

 Caution: When including local holdings records (LHRs) to records, you must select MARC 21 with MARC-8, MARC-21 with UTF-8 Unicode, or MARCXML with UTF-8 Unicode in the Record Delivery tab.

Include LHRs

To include LHRs:

1. Select Include my local holdings records.
   
2. Select from the drop-down list a delivery method. Options include:
   • Deliver a file of local holdings records only
     You will receive a file of local holdings records only. The file name will include "lhr" as follows: metacoll.XXX.new.lhr.D20160213.T042239.1.mrc
   • Deliver a file of local holdings records and a file of bibliographic records
     You will receive local holdings records and bibliographic records in separate files.
   • Deliver a file of local holdings records interleaved with my bibliographic records
     You will receive each bibliographic record followed by its associated LHR(s). Updated bibliographic records and their interleaved LHRs will be output if any associated LHR is deleted, added, or updated. You will receive an updated record and all associated LHRs, including those that have not changed. This allows you to replace all LHRs for a record without the need to figure out what has been changed. Note: Local bibliographic data will not be included.
3. Enter your OCLC Symbol(s). If you have multiple OCLC symbols, separate each symbol with a space.

 

Include LBD

To include LBD:

1. Select Include my local bibliographic data.
   
2. Select from the drop-down list how you would like your LBD included with your records. Options include:
   • Embedded with my bibliographic records
     Select if you want local bibliographic data, such as subjects and notes, embedded in your records.
   • Interleaved with my bibliographic records
     The option to have LBD Interleaved with records is useful for libraries that need to determine which metadata is local and which is coming from the WorldCat bibliographic record.
3. Enter your OCLC Symbol(s). If you have multiple OCLC symbols, separate each symbol with a space.

Format

If desired, change the default record format. Available formats:

• MARC 21 with MARC-8 (default)
• MARC 21 with UTF-8 Unicode
• MARCXML with UTF-8 Unicode
• Dublin Core Qualified with UTF-8 Unicode
• Dublin Core Simple with UTF-8 Unicode
• OCLC Dublin Core Qualified with UTF-8 Unicode
• OCLC Dublin Core Simple with UTF-8 Unicode
• MODS with UTF-8 Unicode

 Note: You must select MARC 21 with MARC-8, MARC 21 with UTF-8 Unicode, or MARCXML with UTF-8 Unicode, if you choose to add LHRs to your records. 

If you specify record customizations in the Customize Records tab, you must enter MARC 21 fields. For more information about record formats, see MARC 21, Dublin Core, and MARC XML and MODS.

Delivery Frequency

 Delivery Frequency settings apply to collections with ongoing delivery. In collections that output records on an ongoing basis, the frequency can be overridden at the collection level.

For collections that output records on an ongoing basis, change the "Daily" default delivery frequency if desired. Available frequencies:

• Daily (default)
• Weekly
• Monthly
• Quarterly (every 3 months)

Daily files will not be output immediately. You will receive an emailed report around the time when your file is ready if you completed the settings in Institution Settings > Reports. See Record output and timing.

File Output

Select separate file delivery for all of your serials and/or for all WorldCat update records based on your holdings in WorldCat (if you enabled the settings in the WorldCat Updates tab).

Select from the file output options:

• Unselected (default)
• Deliver my serials in a separate file (.ser)
• Deliver records for WorldCat updates in a separate file (.wcholdings)

You will be able to distinguish files from different types of collections by their file names. See Files of records and file names.

Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)

Links in records make resources more integrated with the Web and more discoverable for end users. If you select URI settings, linked data URIs will be embedded in your MARC records for 1XX, 6XX, 7XX and 8XX fields and will be included in the $0 subfield. $0 is a valid field for linked data URIs even if your ILS currently does not use the linked data information.

If you would like to download records with linked data URIs, select the identity service(s) from which you would like to retain links. If you select more than one identity service, multiple $0s will be appended to the appropriate tags with the appropriate URIs. The order of $0s will follow the order listed in the interface.

By default, none are selected:

Name Headings Identity Services

• GND Authorities - (Die Gemeinsame Normdatei, German)
• LC / NACO Authority File - (Library of Congress / Name Authority Cooperative Program)

Subject Headings Identity Services

• GND Authorities - (Die Gemeinsame Normdatei, German)
• LC Subject Authority File - (Library of Congress)
• MeSH Authorities - (Medical Subject Headings)
