Cataloging Reference Archive MultiLIS: Preventing Enhanced Records from Overlay
(Record Protector)
Posted January 9, 2000
Question: How do I keep a record I have
enhanced from being replaced by a vendor record if another copy is purchased by someone in
the district?
Answer: MultiLIS users can do this by creating a "record
protector." This is done by creating a record which contains only a title and an 020
tag. The title is "Recordprotector." Each time a record needs to be protected,
the ISBN of the record is added to "Recordprotector." Since vendor loads are
generally loaded to match and overlay on ISBN, a matching ISBN will not know which record
should be overlaid—the actual record or the one titled "Recordprotector."
Therefore, the record will not load and it will be reported in the sortie as rejected due
to repeated ISBN. When a search on the ISBN to discover the reason for the rejection
results in one of the matching titles being "Recordprotector," you will know why
the record was rejected and can manually add the item to the record you have enhanced and
are protecting from being replaced. |
