How can I get a list of LBD control numbers for bulk editing?
Applies to
- WorldShare Record Manager
- WorldShare Collection Manager
Answer
If your bibliographic or local holdings records have something in common that is indexed in WorldCat, you can use a query collection to pull relevant records and interleave LBDs to return the control numbers in addition to the variable fields.
Steps to create a record work list of LBD control numbers for bulk LBD changes
- Make sure you have WorldShare > Metadata > Collection Manager > Institution Settings > MARC Records > Customize Records > Include my local bibliographic data turned on and the drop-down below it set to Interleaved with my bibliographic records
- Create a Query collection using the selection criteria: li:[OCLC symbol] AND b8:[shelving location]
- Inside the new query collection make sure that the MARC Records > Customize Records > Local Bibliographic Data > Use institution setting: interleaved with my bibliographic records option is turned on
- When the Query collection file arrives, use MARCEdit to extract LBD records from the file
- Use MarcEdit to pull specific fields from your file of records to get the 001 tag ( ie. LBD Control number)
- Use the list of LBD Control numbers to create the LBD Record Work list
- Create script to add the field in the Toolbox
- Run the script to add the field or make any changes.
