So I'll hand it 135 00:18:13,060 --> 00:18:13,960 over to Mike. 136 00:18:16,260 --> 00:18:19,860 All right, let me get started with sharing the screen, you 137 00:18:19,860 --> 00:18:23,310 should be seeing a little slide is that right. 138 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,380 Yeah. Okay, 139 00:18:26,890 --> 00:18:33,010 so we're gonna we're gonna tag team this. I'll start off with a 140 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,720 short 10 minute. What are Authorities and doing things and 141 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,370 Authorities with Authorities and Symphony Zee Zee's gonna follow 142 00:18:42,370 --> 00:18:47,170 up with talking about Loading Authority Records. And then, 143 00:18:47,380 --> 00:18:53,050 Natalie will follow up the cleanup hitter. We'll talk about 144 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:58,630 authority load errors, and hint. Handling deletions and changes. 145 00:19:02,110 --> 00:19:06,580 So there. Everyone knows me right, Mike Waugh. Library 146 00:19:06,580 --> 00:19:12,220 Services Platform Administrator at LOUIS. Before LOUIS I was a 147 00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:16,030 System Administrator at LSU for five years and then I worked at 148 00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:20,890 the EBR PL. Before that for 10 years, never once held a 149 00:19:20,890 --> 00:19:29,440 cataloguing position. So caveat emptor be beware here is I'm 150 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,610 treading into territory I normally don't tread but I am 151 00:19:33,610 --> 00:19:36,760 pretty good at given a presentation, I think, and at 152 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:43,390 reading documentation, so that's why I'm here today. So first of 153 00:19:43,390 --> 00:19:46,990 all what is an authority I wanted to start the presentation 154 00:19:46,990 --> 00:19:52,060 just from from square one. So I'll be given kind of a 10,000 155 00:19:52,060 --> 00:19:56,470 foot, 45,000, foot view here. So an authority would be the 156 00:19:56,470 --> 00:20:02,980 correct name or form of a name or subject subject subdivision. 157 00:20:03,460 --> 00:20:07,300 As the slide says here. I don't know which one would be the 158 00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:14,230 correct term for this. This one, this nebulous one ebook. E dash 159 00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:18,730 book, electronic books, in some ways, we're still trying to, you 160 00:20:18,730 --> 00:20:21,880 know, figure that out, out in the real world, you'll see it in 161 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,380 different places, so much like you might have a style guide for 162 00:20:26,380 --> 00:20:30,160 publication that might give you guidance about which one of 163 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:35,680 these things to use in the library, and our catalog. We 164 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,560 need some sort of guidance as to which of these terms is the 165 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,630 correct one to use. So, So that's what an authority, would 166 00:20:43,630 --> 00:20:49,540 be right, and authorities can change over time. For example, 167 00:20:49,540 --> 00:20:54,670 we had a cookery for the longest time was the authorized forum 168 00:20:54,670 --> 00:21:00,970 for any sort of cookbook subject term. At some point in the past 169 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,040 10 years it's switched over to cooking, and millions of catalog 170 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,280 records have to be updated with that new terminology. 171 00:21:12,270 --> 00:21:13,560 Probably preferred. 172 00:21:16,199 --> 00:21:20,219 So then what is the authority to control. What's the consistent 173 00:21:20,219 --> 00:21:23,579 use and maintenance of the forms of the names. So this is the 174 00:21:23,579 --> 00:21:28,829 work that you do. In order to keep your authorities, under 175 00:21:28,829 --> 00:21:32,279 control. Right. Otherwise, as you're loading records as you're 176 00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:37,499 cataloging records, creating new subject terms, new authors 177 00:21:37,529 --> 00:21:41,099 coming in. Authors changing names and things like that. 178 00:21:41,579 --> 00:21:45,749 Like, like a garden, it's got to get out of control, unless you 179 00:21:45,749 --> 00:21:48,119 put some control over it, you got to weed your garden you got 180 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,839 to weed your catalog, you have to weed, your subject terms, you 181 00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:56,999 have to weed your authored names. So, authority control is 182 00:21:56,999 --> 00:22:05,039 the name of the game here. So, it's easy to get to get into the 183 00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:08,459 weeds per se, as far as whether you're using the proper heading. 184 00:22:09,779 --> 00:22:13,559 But I think it's useful to remember that the end goal 185 00:22:13,589 --> 00:22:17,879 really is to make searching in your catalog easier for your 186 00:22:17,879 --> 00:22:21,929 user. So, as long as you kind of keep that in the back of your 187 00:22:21,929 --> 00:22:24,809 head or once in a while kind of put it into the front of your 188 00:22:24,809 --> 00:22:32,309 mind. I think it will serve as a motivating force for you. For 189 00:22:32,309 --> 00:22:35,759 me, a good thing to do is to kind of take a look at your 190 00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:40,289 catalog in the same way that your users might, might see it. 191 00:22:42,449 --> 00:22:43,439 So, 192 00:22:45,629 --> 00:22:47,459 just to make a quick point about 193 00:22:49,250 --> 00:22:54,500 Authorities and Enterprise, one we had the elibrary catalog. The 194 00:22:54,530 --> 00:23:00,140 authority database, and the indexes were closely tied they 195 00:23:00,170 --> 00:23:04,160 often were the very same indexes and searches that you would do 196 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,670 in Workflows Symphony Workflows would be the same as he would 197 00:23:07,670 --> 00:23:12,290 find in the public catalog, elibrary with the broader 198 00:23:12,290 --> 00:23:16,910 adoption now Enterprise among the LOUIS libraries, you'll find 199 00:23:16,910 --> 00:23:20,630 that it's not a one to one sort of match. 200 00:23:21,989 --> 00:23:24,269 But, but it's still important 201 00:23:25,589 --> 00:23:27,209 show, so a couple examples here. 202 00:23:29,910 --> 00:23:35,190 This is a screenshot from the Enterprise catalog, wherein. 203 00:23:36,030 --> 00:23:42,960 I've looked at the subject facet. And I clicked this A to 204 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,690 Z. I don't know if you can see my cursor right here. Click the 205 00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:49,200 A to Z so I can alphabetize the subject headings that are being 206 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,540 used. and here we can see this this is something that happens a 207 00:23:54,540 --> 00:24:00,570 lot. among a lot of our LOUIS catalogs is we'll get subject 208 00:24:00,570 --> 00:24:07,110 headings that have slight differences in this case this 209 00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:13,830 anaesthesia methods. One has a period, one doesn't. Same here. 210 00:24:15,090 --> 00:24:19,200 Cats and cats and what that means for the user is that if 211 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,130 they do want to do a subject search, usually typing it in 212 00:24:23,130 --> 00:24:27,030 they're going to find it but if they wanted to narrow it down by 213 00:24:27,030 --> 00:24:28,170 selecting by 214 00:24:29,519 --> 00:24:32,429 hitting these checkboxes right here and then doing include. 215 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,130 You know, they have to have to hit it twice right there. So you 216 00:24:37,130 --> 00:24:41,810 know might not seem like a big deal but you know it's a lot for 217 00:24:41,810 --> 00:24:46,550 one it will make your list here a lot shorter, but with some 218 00:24:46,550 --> 00:24:49,940 authority control. If you went in and authorized these you 219 00:24:49,940 --> 00:24:54,560 could combine these terms, you could verify your spelling's and 220 00:24:54,590 --> 00:25:00,860 make sure everything's neat and tidy. Ah, oh the same screenshot 221 00:25:00,860 --> 00:25:07,190 just a little bit easier to see bigger. This and better, better 222 00:25:07,190 --> 00:25:12,320 in there, in a seizure cats and cats separately. These numbers 223 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,290 on the side are the number of records that have those subject 224 00:25:15,290 --> 00:25:23,390 terms. So oftentimes you'll see, you'll see a subject term that 225 00:25:23,660 --> 00:25:29,330 only has one. You know usually that's kind of a one off, sort 226 00:25:29,330 --> 00:25:38,750 of thing there. This. This is an example that we hit a lot in in 227 00:25:38,750 --> 00:25:43,280 the public library sphere. But this is taken from one of our 228 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,090 academic libraries. The author, looking at doesn't have to be 229 00:25:47,150 --> 00:25:50,720 just subject terms but author names can kind of get out of 230 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,680 control too so if you take a popular author like James 231 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,420 Patterson. And this is the authorized heading right here 232 00:25:59,420 --> 00:26:05,150 with the 35 instances of James Patterson. It's 1947 James 233 00:26:05,150 --> 00:26:09,710 Patterson, but it's a common enough name, James and 234 00:26:09,710 --> 00:26:16,430 Patterson, that there are dozens, in most catalogs, if, 235 00:26:16,460 --> 00:26:24,440 if, I'll say few dozens, if not more, in, in these catalogs. 236 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,860 James T there, James D, James Dean Patterson seems to have a 237 00:26:30,860 --> 00:26:36,350 lot of records in our catalog. So, you know, some of these, 238 00:26:36,380 --> 00:26:39,320 they're not together because like this, James T right here 239 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:45,410 has the extra, comma, but other ones it's a little bit unclear 240 00:26:45,410 --> 00:26:53,090 about as to what the authorized subject term might be RDA 241 00:26:53,090 --> 00:26:57,500 records, you don't notice have a lot of will have this 242 00:26:57,530 --> 00:27:03,740 designation of what what their role is author, in this case, so 243 00:27:03,740 --> 00:27:06,200 you might get some discrepancy there and that's some cleanup 244 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:11,810 that a lot of catalogers have to do since those changes, those 245 00:27:11,810 --> 00:27:16,760 additional fields were added. So ideally you would have this 1947 246 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,750 and this 1947 James Patterson combined. Same with these 247 00:27:20,750 --> 00:27:25,280 Williams here, and then notice there's a James Patterson, we 248 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,760 don't know who that is. So we have to look at that record and 249 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,240 figure out which of all these James Patterson's might be the 250 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,490 one that we're looking for. and didn't didn't fall in 251 00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:41,090 alphabetically on the screenshot but way up here, there's some 252 00:27:41,090 --> 00:27:46,070 James Patterson's flipped around. Instead of Patterson 253 00:27:46,070 --> 00:27:50,900 James. So let me talk a little bit now about the authority 254 00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:57,890 database. In Symphony, in particular, so you know some 255 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,420 Authority Database, simply is just all of the Loaded Authority 256 00:28:02,420 --> 00:28:08,990 Records. Also within Symphony, are these Authority Indexes, and 257 00:28:08,990 --> 00:28:13,430 the indexes can include the authorized, and authorized 258 00:28:13,430 --> 00:28:18,170 headings and also improper headings in Symphony, we tend to 259 00:28:18,170 --> 00:28:23,720 have two main indexes. One would be the Library Congress Name 260 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,620 Terms, and the other one would be the Library of Congress 261 00:28:27,650 --> 00:28:31,550 Subject Headings. But that's not to say that each library only 262 00:28:31,550 --> 00:28:34,490 has those two. A lot of libraries have more than those 263 00:28:34,490 --> 00:28:39,560 two. And, for example, some might have the Medical Subject 264 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,010 Headings as a separate index, the mesh and it makes it a 265 00:28:43,010 --> 00:28:47,210 little easier to control for those things when they are in 266 00:28:47,210 --> 00:28:50,390 separate indexes you can keep your Mesh headings which can, a 267 00:28:50,390 --> 00:28:52,700 lot of times be very similar to your Library of Congress 268 00:28:52,700 --> 00:28:56,810 headings. You can keep them separate and cleaned up. 269 00:28:58,439 --> 00:28:58,949 That way, 270 00:29:00,490 --> 00:29:05,470 kind of on the back end. Is this something called a authority, 271 00:29:05,770 --> 00:29:10,900 thesauri plural thesaurus, thesaurus nobody wants to say, 272 00:29:11,050 --> 00:29:15,130 so it's your, your chance to use the word thesauri. In a 273 00:29:15,130 --> 00:29:21,100 sentence, but the authority authority of the thesauri are in 274 00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:25,480 this should be plural right are a separate file files that 275 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,630 provide relationships between terms and creates cross 276 00:29:28,630 --> 00:29:32,740 references. And so in Symphony we have the author, title and 277 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:38,140 subject thesauri you don't edit them directly but you can. When 278 00:29:38,140 --> 00:29:41,560 you do things to the indexes and databases. It will update 279 00:29:41,740 --> 00:29:49,570 thesauri. So a big part of authority control is heading 280 00:29:49,570 --> 00:29:54,400 validation. And you can have three types of heading 281 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,500 validation in Symphony. You can have a cross references only you 282 00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:05,020 can have case insensitive checking where the case if it's 283 00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:08,890 upper or lower case doesn't matter. And then you can have a 284 00:30:08,890 --> 00:30:16,000 case sensitive checking. So, for case significance or case 285 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,460 sensitive checking the bibliographic headings you know 286 00:30:18,460 --> 00:30:21,730 they have to be exactly the same I've got the example here of 287 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,560 goat farming. Subject near and dear to my heart. Goat farming 288 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,680 with a capital F might come in as the bibliographic subject 289 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:34,780 term, it would not be considered a match for the authorized goat 290 00:30:34,780 --> 00:30:40,270 farming with the small f. If you had case sensitive checking. And 291 00:30:40,270 --> 00:30:47,050 I did a little server checking and I found that all LOUIS sites 292 00:30:47,050 --> 00:30:51,310 are currently configured per case sensitive checking. So, I 293 00:30:51,310 --> 00:30:56,560 was curious and had to know. So that's good. So the way you do 294 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,970 Heading Validation. Most of the time, you're going to be in. In 295 00:31:00,970 --> 00:31:05,500 your Modified Title Wizard in Symphony. And at the very top of 296 00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:10,360 it, top, maybe the second little helper there is the validate 297 00:31:10,390 --> 00:31:14,710 headings helper. You click on that helper and it's going to go 298 00:31:14,710 --> 00:31:20,050 through the record and validate, all of the unauthorized headings 299 00:31:20,380 --> 00:31:25,600 that are in that record, you'll be presented with some choices 300 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,560 there, browse which is to search the list of headings in 301 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:34,030 alphabetical order, like any browse list would be. You can 302 00:31:34,810 --> 00:31:37,450 get from lists, which is to replace the heading that you've 303 00:31:37,990 --> 00:31:41,560 that you're looking at, with the selected heading. The skip and 304 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,770 skip rest. What that means is that it's checking all of the 305 00:31:44,770 --> 00:31:48,580 unauthorized headings in that record all at once, or one by 306 00:31:48,580 --> 00:31:52,990 one, you know for that whole record. So you could decide to 307 00:31:52,990 --> 00:31:56,230 not decide and skip a heading, and then move to the next one in 308 00:31:56,230 --> 00:31:59,410 the record. And then propose means you want to make a new 309 00:31:59,410 --> 00:32:03,460 authority record based on the heading. And here's a screenshot 310 00:32:03,460 --> 00:32:09,400 of that. There's the buttons on the left. This was an you know 311 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,670 when a heading is unauthorized and Symphony. If you're in 312 00:32:12,670 --> 00:32:16,720 modify title. The name of the wizard there, because this 313 00:32:16,750 --> 00:32:19,840 unauthorized question mark unauthorized appears as a 314 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:26,350 subfield next to it, you do not see this unauthorized, then you 315 00:32:26,350 --> 00:32:29,470 can assume went to the next one, you can assume that it's 316 00:32:29,470 --> 00:32:30,790 authorized at that point. 317 00:32:34,859 --> 00:32:35,549 So that's the. 318 00:32:37,070 --> 00:32:42,110 That was an author and this was a subject heading, goat farming. 319 00:32:42,620 --> 00:32:49,850 And then if I wanted to. At that point, get from list. I cut off 320 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,470 the what I'm seeing in the Browse list there. But then, if 321 00:32:54,470 --> 00:32:58,310 I were to look at this, the authority. 322 00:33:00,839 --> 00:33:03,839 This actually this is why I'm proposing one, I think. 323 00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:12,960 Anyway, the subject term is goat farming and will this top part 324 00:33:12,990 --> 00:33:19,260 are the fixed fields and then the fields below about explain 325 00:33:19,260 --> 00:33:24,180 what those are. Okay, so the authority fixed fields. You can 326 00:33:24,180 --> 00:33:28,440 have an Authority Level. Authorities can be authorized, 327 00:33:29,250 --> 00:33:32,580 or they can be provisional typically you might mark one is 328 00:33:32,580 --> 00:33:37,230 provisional if you have a team of people looking at it. You 329 00:33:37,230 --> 00:33:42,390 might have junior staff members, checking these things and then 330 00:33:42,420 --> 00:33:46,080 marking authorities as provisional, and then somebody 331 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,310 can come back and check it behind them and authorize it 332 00:33:51,030 --> 00:33:55,680 might be a way to do that. You have different authority types, 333 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,510 established heading, or the establish heading and 334 00:34:00,510 --> 00:34:03,390 subdivision as an example there's more values that are 335 00:34:03,450 --> 00:34:08,610 valid here but these are, you know, the most common. That's 336 00:34:08,610 --> 00:34:12,390 what those letters and next to it are the code for those. The 337 00:34:12,390 --> 00:34:18,870 name use these name use subject uses zero use you kind of think 338 00:34:18,870 --> 00:34:22,680 of those three all at the same time, 'A' means basically yes 339 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,160 this is used for this thing it's appropriate, or 'B' not 340 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,810 appropriate. So here's a screenshot of that. And I'm not 341 00:34:30,810 --> 00:34:33,210 going to list out every one of the fixed fields, but I just 342 00:34:33,210 --> 00:34:37,920 wanted to pick those out as some of the more interesting ones to 343 00:34:38,010 --> 00:34:38,760 look at. 344 00:34:40,110 --> 00:34:42,600 If you right click on any one of those values. 345 00:34:43,889 --> 00:34:48,599 Right here. Whenever you were in modified title, or when you're 346 00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:52,529 modifying authority. You will get you'll be presented with a 347 00:34:52,529 --> 00:34:55,139 list of all the appropriate values. 348 00:34:56,700 --> 00:35:00,780 With the code, and with, you know kind of what it means. 349 00:35:04,020 --> 00:35:07,680 So that part below the fixed fields where the you know the 350 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,730 record fields themselves. You know the established headings or 351 00:35:11,730 --> 00:35:16,680 the or the one xx personal name would be 100. Subject authority 352 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:21,180 be 150, there's more of them there. But you know those are 353 00:35:21,180 --> 00:35:27,420 the big ones. The four xx are called see from headings. These 354 00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:29,460 are the forms that have a heading that aren't valid for 355 00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:36,390 use that, you know, 400 for the personal name that 00 is name, 356 00:35:36,390 --> 00:35:41,880 you know, and then 50 for subject for subject. So 450 In 357 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:46,260 that case, and then the See also headings. These are other 358 00:35:46,410 --> 00:35:49,560 established headings that are related to this heading that 359 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,490 you're looking at. And the same sort of thing, you know, zero to 360 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:59,880 500 would be personal name and 550 subject. There's more than 361 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:04,320 one to six xx are notes, those notes can be configured for, you 362 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:10,170 know, staff use only or public view, things like that. So 363 00:36:10,170 --> 00:36:13,230 here's an example just sort of kind of a random one I was 364 00:36:13,230 --> 00:36:17,280 looking at to Chitimacha Indians, as the established term 365 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:23,130 150. These see from, you could type in to your system Chitmacha 366 00:36:23,460 --> 00:36:30,150 Indians, and it would bring you to this Chitmacha Indian, in a 367 00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:34,710 sense, and then. See also Indians of North America, 368 00:36:34,740 --> 00:36:40,140 Louisiana. You know Chitimacha Indians are, you know, a tribe 369 00:36:40,140 --> 00:36:42,780 from Louisiana. I mean, 370 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,240 some useful reports that 371 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:54,030 you might want to be aware of the List Unauthorized Tags 372 00:36:54,030 --> 00:37:00,750 Report is a way to get a list of all the unauthorized headings 373 00:37:00,750 --> 00:37:04,260 that you might have in your system. If you haven't done this 374 00:37:04,260 --> 00:37:07,860 before it might be scary to look at it. Just wide open so you 375 00:37:07,860 --> 00:37:10,620 might, you know, think of some ways to narrow down the 376 00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:15,660 criteria. It's apparently an informational report. Doesn't 377 00:37:15,660 --> 00:37:20,070 make any changes but it gives you some ideas for things to 378 00:37:20,070 --> 00:37:24,210 clean up to authorize or Also, if you're doing original 379 00:37:24,210 --> 00:37:32,130 cataloging. You might identify some tags that you could propose 380 00:37:32,130 --> 00:37:39,420 to larger systems, NEKO, or things like that, then another 381 00:37:39,420 --> 00:37:42,720 one to look at are these authority headings without bibs, 382 00:37:43,020 --> 00:37:46,410 this would be authority headings that don't have associated 383 00:37:46,830 --> 00:37:52,050 bibliographic records, also known as a blind reference. It 384 00:37:52,290 --> 00:37:55,200 only, again, it's informational it lists the records doesn't 385 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,050 make the changes, but you can go in there and delete the 386 00:37:58,050 --> 00:38:03,450 authorities. So that's my high level view of Authorities in 387 00:38:03,450 --> 00:38:08,520 Symphony. I went to the Support Center, SirsiDynix Support 388 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:13,950 Center, and found a lot of these, but good documents there 389 00:38:13,980 --> 00:38:14,880 and training. 390 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:17,490 They've got 391 00:38:18,780 --> 00:38:21,090 a lot of things to read right here, but also. 392 00:38:22,410 --> 00:38:26,790 This short Authority Control or Working with Authority Self 393 00:38:26,790 --> 00:38:31,080 Paced this was about a 20 minute 20 to 30 minute class, I'd 394 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,310 recommend that for anybody. Especially now that Mentor is 395 00:38:35,820 --> 00:38:39,870 free training for most of us, there's also this, it's a bit 396 00:38:39,870 --> 00:38:43,020 older, this Authority Control Reference Manual but it seemed 397 00:38:43,020 --> 00:38:46,140 had the most detailed information about the databases 398 00:38:46,140 --> 00:38:51,570 and indexes and thesauri. Inside of Symphony. And then, of 399 00:38:51,570 --> 00:38:55,080 course, just a fun place to kind of poke around, but it's you 400 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,570 know a reference out of these Library of Congress Authorities. 401 00:38:58,350 --> 00:39:02,670 So with that, I will turn it over to Zee Zee 402 00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:06,990 to tell you about how we load these records. 403 00:39:09,540 --> 00:39:12,000 And I don't think I have to do anything I think Zee Zee you can 404 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,910 just shift start sharing your screen, or do I have to stop 405 00:39:14,910 --> 00:39:15,330 sharing, 406 00:39:15,570 --> 00:39:16,560 just stop sharing. 407 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,930 Right now we got to find the button. 408 00:39:26,430 --> 00:39:28,620 Look at the very top of the screen. 409 00:39:29,580 --> 00:39:30,210 Oh, there it is. 410 00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:33,750 Oh, yay, I did it. 411 00:39:37,380 --> 00:39:42,660 Share screen, and to teach you can see it. 412 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,490 Can y'all see my screen. 413 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,790 It's, it looks like it's starting up. 414 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,850 You see it now. Yeah. 415 00:39:56,780 --> 00:40:00,050 Good afternoon. I'm Zee Zee and we're going to show you how to 416 00:40:00,050 --> 00:40:05,330 load a file authority records. So, you can really use 417 00:40:05,330 --> 00:40:09,380 SmartVault to get authority records, you can connect to OCLC 418 00:40:09,620 --> 00:40:15,740 or Library of Congress, or even another site, the search box. 419 00:40:17,150 --> 00:40:20,540 Select record and drop it into your catalog, but you can also 420 00:40:20,540 --> 00:40:25,100 subscribe to a party services from a vendor, like SirsiDynix 421 00:40:25,130 --> 00:40:25,790 or Marcive 422 00:40:27,020 --> 00:40:28,880 So before I show you 423 00:40:28,810 --> 00:40:33,460 the details of how to load an authority file. Let me just take 424 00:40:33,460 --> 00:40:37,960 a minute and give you a very brief background of the options 425 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:43,510 provided by both descenders. So SirsiDynix offers two options, 426 00:40:43,570 --> 00:40:47,020 the full underlying the full authority record the lightest 427 00:40:47,020 --> 00:40:50,290 party record but they also offer the authority update service 428 00:40:50,290 --> 00:40:55,060 which is ongoing, it's hard to book. So guys this session is 429 00:40:55,060 --> 00:40:59,050 being recorded, so you can go ahead and read the details later 430 00:40:59,050 --> 00:41:03,730 on at your leisure. Marcive also provides similar authority 431 00:41:03,730 --> 00:41:06,850 options. They have the authority, update, which is 432 00:41:06,910 --> 00:41:11,200 ongoing authority work. And here they provide you with overnight 433 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:16,030 authorities, or monthly notification service. And the 434 00:41:16,030 --> 00:41:19,840 point they try to make every time is that they don't provide 435 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,410 any light authority work, everything is full level 436 00:41:23,410 --> 00:41:28,090 authority. And they also provide some additional options here. 437 00:41:28,660 --> 00:41:34,930 That again you all can read the details later on. We have the 438 00:41:34,930 --> 00:41:40,360 cost for both these vendors. It's based on the number of big 439 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:46,930 records in your catalog. SirsiDynix will stand and reload 440 00:41:46,930 --> 00:41:49,630 the records for the initial implementation, and they will 441 00:41:49,630 --> 00:41:53,860 also do it for the ongoing authority work. But the best 442 00:41:53,860 --> 00:41:56,950 part with them is that they resolve the unauthorized 443 00:41:56,950 --> 00:42:00,400 headings in your web records that Mike was showing just now. 444 00:42:01,450 --> 00:42:06,130 Mark Guard for the initial extract and reload. You have to 445 00:42:06,130 --> 00:42:10,450 be involved, or LOUIS was always there to help you. And for that 446 00:42:10,450 --> 00:42:13,210 you can schedule the Gibbons heading and he will text 447 00:42:13,210 --> 00:42:19,090 reports. But for the overnight authorities and the update 448 00:42:19,090 --> 00:42:23,620 authority services. Most of the time don't need to rebuild 449 00:42:23,620 --> 00:42:27,520 heading in text reports. The good point with their services 450 00:42:27,550 --> 00:42:32,260 that they provide fifth party records for any documents that 451 00:42:32,260 --> 00:42:36,520 you have in your catalog. So for the sites that are using large 452 00:42:36,730 --> 00:42:40,180 loads of government documents. This is really quite a boon. 453 00:42:42,070 --> 00:42:43,210 We have a 454 00:42:43,210 --> 00:42:45,340 question. Sorry to interrupt 455 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:47,980 You want to add. 456 00:42:50,420 --> 00:42:55,610 Yes, from Louisiana Tech Dale I'm sorry. Does it show that we 457 00:42:55,610 --> 00:43:02,360 have Marcive or not, is that what I'm looking at. Are we okay 458 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:07,010 so I guess, again I just hope that I just started recently but 459 00:43:08,330 --> 00:43:13,010 it moved kind of quick to this pandemic here but haven't got a 460 00:43:13,010 --> 00:43:16,460 chance to grab everything before I went back home to Houston but 461 00:43:16,490 --> 00:43:22,520 anyhow. So Marcive do they have, I guess, a schedule run with us 462 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,370 to clean up the records at this point or is it something I can 463 00:43:25,370 --> 00:43:28,040 look at a contract or how does that work. 464 00:43:29,370 --> 00:43:33,690 So, I can send you the details. At the end of the session. But 465 00:43:33,690 --> 00:43:37,710 yeah, not to contact them. Yeah, you will have to send extract 466 00:43:37,710 --> 00:43:41,850 your records from the last time the load and the cleanup was 467 00:43:41,850 --> 00:43:45,150 done, and they will be glad to give you a price for that. 468 00:43:46,050 --> 00:43:50,580 Yeah, Yeah, again just coming in there at this particular time in 469 00:43:50,580 --> 00:43:54,090 January in January, it's just been a little bit of a challenge 470 00:43:54,090 --> 00:44:00,390 to see how far back, Louisiana Tech has been in. I, since I've 471 00:44:00,390 --> 00:44:02,940 been there I've been trying to clean it up as much as possible 472 00:44:02,940 --> 00:44:06,840 and there's just so much but I do like what Mike brought up 473 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:12,120 also some more cleaning up with the unauthorized records. I'm 474 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,020 sure we're going to find a few of them out there in our systems 475 00:44:16,050 --> 00:44:21,150 but uh but if Marcive is doing that. I think that takes care of 476 00:44:21,150 --> 00:44:22,440 some stuff for me as well. 477 00:44:23,669 --> 00:44:24,539 Yes, the way 478 00:44:25,979 --> 00:44:31,349 you have a charge for it. So, if you open a task ticket for it. 479 00:44:31,529 --> 00:44:35,429 I'll be glad to get them to identify when was the last load 480 00:44:35,429 --> 00:44:39,209 done for you all, and how much would it cost to extract your 481 00:44:39,209 --> 00:44:41,219 records and clean it up all over again. 482 00:44:41,789 --> 00:44:45,569 I deeply appreciate it I know I'm still trying to grasp as 483 00:44:45,569 --> 00:44:50,969 much stuff with Louisiana Tech and work, working from home it's 484 00:44:50,969 --> 00:44:55,529 been really interesting. So, but I know those are some of the 485 00:44:55,529 --> 00:44:59,789 areas that I see that it was needed to clean up a system but 486 00:44:59,789 --> 00:45:03,659 that's just any other libraries, you can just keep on digging and 487 00:45:03,659 --> 00:45:06,119 digging and digging and find something that needs to be 488 00:45:06,119 --> 00:45:09,719 cleaned up. Yeah, let us. Thanks again for that. Yeah. 489 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:16,830 So for SirsiDynix we have six sites that are using services, 490 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,480 five of them use the light option, and only one slide that 491 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,860 uses the full option, whereas for Marcive we have nine sites 492 00:45:25,860 --> 00:45:32,070 using Marcive. And you'll notice that LSU, and Louisiana Tech 493 00:45:32,070 --> 00:45:36,600 have reason default is for government documents. So for 494 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,200 them it makes perfect sense to get free authority records for 495 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:44,700 Google Docs also. Now, if any other side is interested in 496 00:45:44,700 --> 00:45:48,540 getting authority records for them, just send in a task 497 00:45:48,540 --> 00:45:53,370 tickets, and I'll be glad to get the cost and the details from 498 00:45:53,370 --> 00:45:58,080 both vendors so that you can make your decisions. Okay, so 499 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:02,550 now moving on to how to load authority records from Marcive. 500 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,620 I am going to provide a lot of screenshots, so that you can use 501 00:46:07,620 --> 00:46:13,770 this document later on and load your authority files. So what 502 00:46:13,770 --> 00:46:18,240 does Marcive send you. They send you an email that information, 503 00:46:18,660 --> 00:46:23,280 download. Record the file of authority records are there to 504 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:28,800 FTP, or you can use the browser to download the files in the 505 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,040 browser, it looks like this and all you have to do is drag and 506 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,430 drop them. But the important thing to notice is the number of 507 00:46:35,430 --> 00:46:38,550 records in the file, because this is the number you're going 508 00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:44,700 to track throughout the load process. Load in authority file 509 00:46:44,700 --> 00:46:48,750 is really a three step process you number one you have to get 510 00:46:48,750 --> 00:46:52,440 those hard to find, and you use them archive email for that. 511 00:46:52,980 --> 00:46:57,600 Number two, you have to add it to import it to the server, and 512 00:46:57,630 --> 00:47:01,200 I strongly recommend that everyone get in the habit of 513 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:05,010 loading to the tester. First, and after that if everything is 514 00:47:05,010 --> 00:47:08,880 fine, move to production. To import it or add it to the 515 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:13,050 server you need to use the utilities to that. And the third 516 00:47:13,050 --> 00:47:16,590 step is to load it into the catalog using the report called 517 00:47:16,650 --> 00:47:22,320 authority load. So let's pretend that I have received the email 518 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:27,450 from Marcive. I've got my file. It has four records, and I have 519 00:47:27,450 --> 00:47:31,260 saved it to my desktop. So now I have to move to step number two 520 00:47:31,260 --> 00:47:34,860 which is added to this server imported the file into this 521 00:47:34,860 --> 00:47:41,070 server using the utilities toolbar to go to, utilities, and 522 00:47:41,100 --> 00:47:47,100 click on Marc Import to get the criteria screen. Here is a 523 00:47:47,100 --> 00:47:52,680 better shot of that screen, you're going to use. And you're 524 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,130 going to use the gadget to browse to the spot where you 525 00:47:56,130 --> 00:48:01,320 save the file. In my case, I save the desktop, its 526 00:48:01,350 --> 00:48:04,860 destination feel that you need to add a meaningful name, 527 00:48:04,890 --> 00:48:07,920 something that will make sense to you, and this is the name 528 00:48:08,130 --> 00:48:10,920 that you're going to see when you use the authority load 529 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:15,630 report. So make it meaningful sites, often use the month they 530 00:48:15,630 --> 00:48:19,350 received the data received, or they put the initials of who's 531 00:48:19,350 --> 00:48:21,750 the person who's doing the load just so that they can keep a 532 00:48:21,750 --> 00:48:26,490 track of it. Once you click Import. You get a pop up that 533 00:48:26,490 --> 00:48:29,910 says, Are there any more files to load the Marcive has got a 534 00:48:29,910 --> 00:48:34,950 large file broken into multiple files. Please come back here 535 00:48:34,950 --> 00:48:38,490 browse to find number two, and when it's important, it gets 536 00:48:39,180 --> 00:48:44,190 appended to file number one. If you have only a single file and 537 00:48:44,190 --> 00:48:48,600 save, and the file will get imported into the test server or 538 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,230 the production server whichever one you use, and you get the 539 00:48:52,230 --> 00:48:57,780 input log. This is a very good visual for you. Go ahead and 540 00:48:57,780 --> 00:49:00,150 have a look at the number of records converted, but the most 541 00:49:00,150 --> 00:49:03,990 important part is at the bottom, which is how many records are 542 00:49:03,990 --> 00:49:08,490 processed, my file had four records so great, everything has 543 00:49:08,490 --> 00:49:12,390 been loaded onto the server successfully. So this means I 544 00:49:12,390 --> 00:49:16,680 can move on to step number three, which is, add the records 545 00:49:16,860 --> 00:49:23,610 to my catalog, using the report. So click on the reports tool 546 00:49:23,610 --> 00:49:29,520 bar. Come to the parties tab and select the records report. 547 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:38,120 In the authority data file tab. If you can use the drop down to 548 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,150 select the file that you had just imported. Remember we gave 549 00:49:41,150 --> 00:49:46,100 it the name Authority Demo Four. There it is. For more, if it's a 550 00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:48,830 brand new file that you're getting from Marcive and 551 00:49:48,830 --> 00:49:52,880 selecting the Create. Most of the time, Marcive will be 552 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,840 sending you a mixed batch of new records and updated records, so 553 00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,290 select Create an update. I think this is the default, which comes 554 00:50:00,290 --> 00:50:07,370 anyway. The date catalog is as a default set to the date of the 555 00:50:07,370 --> 00:50:12,590 load, but you can use the gadgets to select the calendar, 556 00:50:12,830 --> 00:50:16,370 and any date that you want in case you're tracking it for some 557 00:50:16,370 --> 00:50:26,150 reason. Now subfield five. This is a neat feature for you. If 558 00:50:26,150 --> 00:50:31,160 you have in your existing authority records. A note field, 559 00:50:31,190 --> 00:50:34,430 which you want to retain something like Mike's that has 560 00:50:34,430 --> 00:50:40,580 no notes, how you earrings or your classification practices, 561 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,960 then all you need to do is put a checkmark in this in this box 562 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:52,430 and enter your OCLC code over here to make it look like this 563 00:50:52,430 --> 00:50:57,830 you put a checkbox, you put your OCLC code. Today, your existing 564 00:50:57,860 --> 00:51:02,600 authority record. If you have a field with the same OCLC code in 565 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:07,640 subfield file. This field now becomes protected and it will 566 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,390 not be overwritten with a new authority record being loaded. 567 00:51:11,660 --> 00:51:15,020 Instead, it will get merged with the new record that is 568 00:51:15,380 --> 00:51:19,520 overlaying, or it's a brand new record. So once you have filled 569 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:24,680 in the fields. Click Run now to run your report. And once it's 570 00:51:24,710 --> 00:51:30,020 completed running, go ahead and go to your finish reports. The 571 00:51:30,020 --> 00:51:32,480 first thing you're gonna do is check the status, make sure it's 572 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,410 okay there's no error, and then view the report results, the 573 00:51:36,410 --> 00:51:42,170 load report results. So I can see in this results that four 574 00:51:42,170 --> 00:51:45,290 records were read. Good. That's the number I wanted and in my 575 00:51:45,290 --> 00:51:45,740 files 576 00:51:46,740 --> 00:51:51,240 there were no errors, zero records were created, but four 577 00:51:51,240 --> 00:51:57,930 were replaced is good. So now my authority load is done. This is 578 00:51:57,930 --> 00:52:02,550 it, you've loaded your authority record, fine. But if you're like 579 00:52:02,550 --> 00:52:09,720 me, I'm always curious to see and want to see. Did the records 580 00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:13,440 look correctly. What do they look like. So normally I'd take 581 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:17,040 a few records and spotted them So scroll down and see the 582 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:21,450 records that were loaded in my test file, I have purposely 583 00:52:21,450 --> 00:52:25,500 loaded the name authority record and the subject authority 584 00:52:25,500 --> 00:52:29,760 record. So to spot check them. What I do is I look at the 585 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,330 authority record number, normally look at the last four 586 00:52:33,330 --> 00:52:38,490 digits, it's easy to remember. So it's 1229. I swipe the title, 587 00:52:38,730 --> 00:52:44,400 and I go into my catalog toolbar and modify authority and select 588 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,540 the name index because this is a name authority record based in 589 00:52:48,540 --> 00:52:53,370 my title selected from the hit list and look at the details of 590 00:52:53,370 --> 00:52:56,700 the record the first thing I check is, is the same authority 591 00:52:56,700 --> 00:53:02,670 record number, yes it is 1229, and TA DA, there's my title. So 592 00:53:02,670 --> 00:53:06,780 for the subject authority record. I do the same thing. 593 00:53:06,930 --> 00:53:14,160 Look at that party number 5525 swipe the title time, as, as the 594 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:18,600 subject index, and the modifier party paste in the title 595 00:53:18,780 --> 00:53:22,170 selected from the hit list. Double check is the same 596 00:53:22,170 --> 00:53:28,050 authority number Yes, 5525. And there it is. And that's it. Now 597 00:53:28,050 --> 00:53:31,680 I feeling satisfied, Marc authority load was successful, 598 00:53:31,710 --> 00:53:35,580 everything looks good. So the ideal scenario is that you have 599 00:53:35,670 --> 00:53:39,390 perfect records everything matches, everything overlays, 600 00:53:39,450 --> 00:53:43,830 yeah right. Sometimes you're going to get a load report which 601 00:53:43,830 --> 00:53:48,810 will indictate what you need to do that certain records that are 602 00:53:48,810 --> 00:53:52,710 delete authority records need to be removed. These will come in 603 00:53:52,710 --> 00:53:59,400 with the code D in position five or the leader of the record. So 604 00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:04,170 you need to remove 'D'. And you're going to get a list of 605 00:54:04,170 --> 00:54:07,890 records that require manual intervention. Fortunately, we 606 00:54:07,890 --> 00:54:11,070 have manager who's going to tell us how to take care of these 607 00:54:11,070 --> 00:54:15,420 errors. But before she does that. Occasionally, once in a 608 00:54:15,420 --> 00:54:20,190 while. When you load that authority file the load will not 609 00:54:20,190 --> 00:54:25,050 go through instant generate an error. And it very clearly tells 610 00:54:25,050 --> 00:54:29,970 you, entry ID is not found the entry ID number is this, and 611 00:54:29,970 --> 00:54:35,310 it's not found in this authority format. And the reason is that 612 00:54:35,310 --> 00:54:39,090 the incoming record the file that you're loading. It has a 613 00:54:39,090 --> 00:54:44,160 tag, which is missing and is defined in this authority format 614 00:54:44,250 --> 00:54:49,830 policy to fix that you have to go to the configuration toolbar. 615 00:54:50,220 --> 00:54:55,110 And since this tag is missing. You have to add the tag create 616 00:54:55,110 --> 00:55:00,570 the tag. And once it's created, you have to add it to this. This 617 00:55:00,570 --> 00:55:04,530 geograph format policy, the one which is saying it's missing in 618 00:55:04,530 --> 00:55:08,520 this policy. So this is something that normally the SIS 619 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,450 admins, or the backup sis admins will do, because they have 620 00:55:12,450 --> 00:55:17,400 access to the configuration toolbar. I since we have three 621 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,820 new sis admins, or new backup sis admins, I'm going to show 622 00:55:20,820 --> 00:55:25,140 you how to do that, but please remember, you can always open 623 00:55:25,140 --> 00:55:28,140 the task ticket, and I'll be glad to take care of it for you. 624 00:55:29,410 --> 00:55:35,830 So to fix it. You go to the format, it is missing so config 625 00:55:35,980 --> 00:55:40,180 authority format, select the format in which it is missing. 626 00:55:40,690 --> 00:55:46,600 And by. And if you're like me, you always click the increase 627 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,230 tab and scroll down and double check and say yeah, it didn't 628 00:55:50,230 --> 00:55:53,860 really missing. But if it is missing you. The first step is 629 00:55:53,860 --> 00:55:57,610 you have to create that missing tab, and for that you've been 630 00:55:57,610 --> 00:56:03,310 provided with a nice entry ID helper. This cute looking a 631 00:56:03,310 --> 00:56:10,090 yellow labeled tab. So you click it and it drops you into the net 632 00:56:10,450 --> 00:56:14,320 all the tags, which are currently available for all the 633 00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,370 party format policies. So I normally eyeball it and say 634 00:56:18,370 --> 00:56:22,300 yeah, sure enough, both 35 is missing, I need to add it to 635 00:56:22,300 --> 00:56:28,690 create to click Create and enter the name the description, and 636 00:56:28,810 --> 00:56:32,110 the rest of the region the values, if it is for a single 637 00:56:32,110 --> 00:56:35,770 tag like we are doing just now it's a single 35 tag, then the 638 00:56:35,770 --> 00:56:39,520 purpose should be authority. So it looks like this, you enter 639 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,630 the name to be very honest for description you should go to LC 640 00:56:43,690 --> 00:56:47,290 authorities page and pick up the correct description for the tag. 641 00:56:47,530 --> 00:56:50,500 I just added it here geograph just to show that this is the 642 00:56:50,500 --> 00:56:55,480 one that we're missing in this authority format policy. Once 643 00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:59,320 you save it, you come back into the, your drop back into the 644 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:03,970 entry list for the helper and TA-DA, there it is good to see 645 00:57:03,970 --> 00:57:07,870 that it has been created. So what you've done is that you've 646 00:57:07,870 --> 00:57:13,630 created the missing tag O34. Now you need to add it to the format 647 00:57:13,630 --> 00:57:18,820 policy in which it is missing. So for that, You have to go to 648 00:57:18,820 --> 00:57:24,070 the configuring configuration authorities format geographic. 649 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:30,220 Add the missing tab, and it will have multiple fields where you 650 00:57:30,220 --> 00:57:34,960 need to add different values, and the workflows had topic, 651 00:57:34,990 --> 00:57:39,460 defining format variations is very clear cut and very helpful 652 00:57:39,460 --> 00:57:44,830 in what you need to add. So I go to a target formatting 653 00:57:44,830 --> 00:57:48,580 configuration, pick up the format where it is missing, and 654 00:57:48,580 --> 00:57:53,380 click Modify, this is the one place that sites tend to make a 655 00:57:53,380 --> 00:57:56,680 mistake this by mistake click Create. You're not creating a 656 00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:01,480 new format. You're modifying the geographic format to add a tag. 657 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:03,960 So when you click 658 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:11,220 Modify, you can now click on the drop down arrow and pick up the 659 00:58:11,220 --> 00:58:16,110 new tag you just created O34, and enter the correct name which 660 00:58:16,110 --> 00:58:20,340 is coded cartographic mathematically data. And the 661 00:58:20,340 --> 00:58:25,050 rest of the values, added using the workflows help, and click 662 00:58:25,050 --> 00:58:31,410 Save. Done, your authority. Missing tag has been added and 663 00:58:31,410 --> 00:58:35,010 now you can wait for a while to run. Anytime you make changes to 664 00:58:35,010 --> 00:58:38,370 a config toolbar you need a halting run, which takes place 665 00:58:38,370 --> 00:58:42,660 every night for everyone. And then you can reload the file and 666 00:58:42,660 --> 00:58:47,280 you will not get this error. Now there's one final optional step 667 00:58:49,860 --> 00:58:54,060 that now you are in config, you are in this format, why not add 668 00:58:54,060 --> 00:58:59,010 this tag to the add authority visit template. So that in your 669 00:58:59,010 --> 00:59:02,700 staff when they're in cataloging when they're in authorities and 670 00:59:02,700 --> 00:59:05,670 they want to add an authority record. for example, they're 671 00:59:06,210 --> 00:59:10,830 creating an authority record for maps. They want to see the O35 672 00:59:10,830 --> 00:59:15,360 tag, the O34 tag, yeah, they can add it. But if it's available 673 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:22,050 it's one thing. And it's very easy to add it. You go into your 674 00:59:22,050 --> 00:59:27,840 scene to grab authorities policy. And in menu modify it, 675 00:59:27,990 --> 00:59:32,160 come down and look at what is the template entries name, in 676 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:36,690 this case is called your graph dash T, T for template. So you 677 00:59:36,690 --> 00:59:39,810 stick in this scene the name. Click on the 678 00:59:41,429 --> 00:59:42,629 entry ID helper 679 00:59:44,340 --> 00:59:48,480 and scroll all the way down all the way down past the nine xx 680 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:53,010 dots, that's when the templates start showing up, and click on 681 00:59:53,010 --> 00:59:58,350 your geograph team, and modify it. This will take you to the 682 00:59:58,350 --> 01:00:04,260 details of this template. Click on the gadget, see the list of 683 01:00:04,260 --> 01:00:09,570 tags that are available. This is currently in your. Add authority 684 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:14,040 template. Now you pick up your O34, and just add it over to 685 01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:18,840 this side, and click Save. Done. All you need your hard round of 686 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,680 the system for this entry to display the format policy. And 687 01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,440 if you haven't reloaded the file just yet, go ahead and reload it 688 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:31,320 now. No more errors. So this is how you load an authority file, 689 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:36,150 and how you resolve the load errors, now turning it back to 690 01:00:36,150 --> 01:00:40,890 Natalie, to show you how to handle the other things. Let me 691 01:00:40,890 --> 01:00:45,570 stop sharing and Natalie it's all yours. 692 01:00:47,969 --> 01:00:48,869 Okay, 693 01:00:55,260 --> 01:00:59,700 my slides will be created into a task portal, Doc. So you should 694 01:00:59,700 --> 01:01:03,750 be able to see over there and Laurie will also post the slides 695 01:01:03,750 --> 01:01:07,020 so that you can check it from there also. Okay, um, 696 01:01:11,729 --> 01:01:12,479 see. 697 01:01:14,580 --> 01:01:16,110 I'm trying to 698 01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:26,380 yeah but I didn't see. Now I see my. Okay. 699 01:01:27,850 --> 01:01:28,810 So can you see? 700 01:01:29,460 --> 01:01:30,570 yes. Okay, 701 01:01:31,350 --> 01:01:36,180 so I'm going to talk about the authority load errors that 702 01:01:36,180 --> 01:01:40,620 indicate manual intervention may be required. And I'll start with 703 01:01:40,620 --> 01:01:44,700 some disclaimers, I'm not an expert on authority control in 704 01:01:44,700 --> 01:01:49,140 general or as it isn't implemented in Symphony. And I 705 01:01:49,140 --> 01:01:52,740 can only offer limited information in the time allotted 706 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:56,250 I'm sharing how I handle errors you may choose to handle them 707 01:01:56,250 --> 01:01:59,370 differently. My only recommendation is that you do 708 01:01:59,370 --> 01:02:04,500 not ignore them. So we'll look at when and why manual 709 01:02:04,500 --> 01:02:10,260 intervention may be required. And I'll show examples of name 710 01:02:10,260 --> 01:02:12,930 heading that's been deleted a subject heading that's been 711 01:02:12,930 --> 01:02:16,590 deleted and a heading change from a one particular one xx 712 01:02:16,590 --> 01:02:20,010 field to a different one xx field. And then I'll just 713 01:02:20,010 --> 01:02:23,550 mention that additional information can be made 714 01:02:23,550 --> 01:02:30,780 available after the webinar. So, when might manual intervention 715 01:02:30,780 --> 01:02:34,890 be required. Anytime a heading has been deleted and that would 716 01:02:34,890 --> 01:02:38,880 be a name or a subject heading. And when a heading is changed 717 01:02:38,910 --> 01:02:45,420 from a one xx to a different one x x x. What I've seen mostly is 718 01:02:45,420 --> 01:02:54,900 110, that's changed to either a 111, a 130 or 151. Why would 719 01:02:54,900 --> 01:02:58,950 manual intervention be required. So when a heading has been 720 01:02:58,950 --> 01:03:03,390 deleted the load report, only removes the associated headings 721 01:03:03,390 --> 01:03:08,670 from the thesaurus. That's what Mike mentioned earlier. So the 722 01:03:08,670 --> 01:03:11,610 headings are no longer authoritative the authority 723 01:03:11,610 --> 01:03:16,710 record is not removed but retained for reference. Hence, 724 01:03:16,740 --> 01:03:22,140 you get the message about manual intervention being required the 725 01:03:22,140 --> 01:03:25,590 headings and the bibliographic records are still linked to the 726 01:03:25,590 --> 01:03:29,820 wrong authority record which is that deleted record. So manual 727 01:03:29,820 --> 01:03:34,620 intervention is required to delete the authority record and 728 01:03:34,620 --> 01:03:38,580 correct the headings in the bibliographic records. When a 729 01:03:38,580 --> 01:03:43,200 heading changes the load report does not change Marc tags in 730 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:47,100 bibliographic records so therefore manual intervention is 731 01:03:47,100 --> 01:03:51,900 required. So again, we'll look at three examples and we'll 732 01:03:51,900 --> 01:03:57,210 start with a deleted name heading. So you'll see three 733 01:03:57,210 --> 01:04:02,820 lines in the load report log, the first line is going to give 734 01:04:02,820 --> 01:04:08,280 you the authority ID, any authority ID beginning with an 735 01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:13,440 end as a name heading, unless it's no ID, and that indicates 736 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:17,820 the authority record had been deleted from the system prior to 737 01:04:17,820 --> 01:04:22,110 the authority load and actually no ID can refer to a name, or a 738 01:04:22,110 --> 01:04:25,770 subject heading, and I can provide information about that. 739 01:04:26,190 --> 01:04:29,910 Outside of the webinar. Then you'll see a line telling you 740 01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:32,790 what the actual error is so in this case heading has been 741 01:04:32,790 --> 01:04:35,670 deleted. And then the third line is telling you that manual 742 01:04:35,670 --> 01:04:40,140 intervention may be required. Again, I'll mention that the 743 01:04:40,140 --> 01:04:43,500 load report does not delete the authority record it only 744 01:04:43,770 --> 01:04:47,220 replaces the existing one with a record that's marked for 745 01:04:47,220 --> 01:04:52,440 deletion. The status will be changed to deep or deleted and a 746 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:57,390 note may be added in the six xx field to explain the reason for 747 01:04:57,390 --> 01:05:01,530 deletion. So I usually start by searching the authority file by 748 01:05:01,530 --> 01:05:07,410 the authority ID that you see above. And here's an authority 749 01:05:07,410 --> 01:05:10,320 record it's a deleted one so you can see the status has been 750 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:14,640 changed to D for deleted, and there's a 667 field that 751 01:05:14,670 --> 01:05:18,870 provides the reason for deletion in this case, this was the last 752 01:05:18,870 --> 01:05:24,060 identity on an undifferentiated record so it's been reported for 753 01:05:24,060 --> 01:05:30,420 deletion. So my next step is I'm going to browse my catalogue to 754 01:05:30,420 --> 01:05:34,230 see how this heading is being used in the case of a name 755 01:05:34,230 --> 01:05:39,960 heading, it can actually be used as, you know, an author or 756 01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:43,710 subject, so you want to make sure you browse both, I had 757 01:05:43,710 --> 01:05:46,650 already browsed the subject index and didn't find anything 758 01:05:46,650 --> 01:05:53,970 so here I am browsing the author index. I see this heading. And 759 01:05:54,090 --> 01:05:59,160 there's one title for that heading sex crime and morality 760 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:03,060 so I take note of the title and the subjects because that's 761 01:06:03,060 --> 01:06:06,000 going to help me find my matching authority record. 762 01:06:10,350 --> 01:06:14,460 So I'm browsing the LC name authority index inside 763 01:06:14,460 --> 01:06:20,970 workflows. So I get two results. The first one is the deleted 764 01:06:20,970 --> 01:06:24,780 heading and I know that because there is no icon in front of it. 765 01:06:25,230 --> 01:06:29,610 So that's the one that needs to be deleted Marcive has also 766 01:06:29,610 --> 01:06:35,760 delivered. Another heading. And the reason is because the LCCN 767 01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:39,600 which is the Library of Congress control a number of the deleted 768 01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:46,860 record appears in subfield Z of the O one o field. And in this 769 01:06:46,860 --> 01:06:50,550 particular case this Sharon Hayes, is the Deputy State Chief 770 01:06:50,550 --> 01:06:54,360 Information Officer for North Carolina and it's probably not 771 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:59,100 the author of the title Sex Crime and Morality. So, you 772 01:06:59,100 --> 01:07:03,420 know, there are no other Sharon Hayes, in my LC name authority 773 01:07:03,420 --> 01:07:07,860 index so I'm going to take a look at OCLC's authority file to 774 01:07:07,860 --> 01:07:09,480 see if there's an authority record that matches 775 01:07:10,050 --> 01:07:10,830 my title. 776 01:07:13,090 --> 01:07:18,430 So I've browsed the OCLC personal names index, and this 777 01:07:18,430 --> 01:07:23,650 is what I get so I can see that delivered authority record for 778 01:07:23,650 --> 01:07:28,060 Sharon Hayes, the deputy CIO and that's the one we don't need, 779 01:07:28,390 --> 01:07:32,080 and the ones highlighted any one of those could be the authorized 780 01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:36,670 heading that I need to match the title in my catalog and Sharon 781 01:07:36,670 --> 01:07:39,850 Hayes the criminologist looks like a good choice to check 782 01:07:39,850 --> 01:07:45,100 first so I do that. And this is just part of the record it's so 783 01:07:45,100 --> 01:07:48,700 long I couldn't get it into a screenshot, but I can tell that 784 01:07:48,700 --> 01:07:52,540 this is the authorized heading, that's needed in my catalog How 785 01:07:52,540 --> 01:07:57,100 do I know that because the title in our catalog appears as one of 786 01:07:57,100 --> 01:08:01,180 the source citations in the 670 field so this is the authority 787 01:08:01,180 --> 01:08:05,830 record that I need. And you can also note that the heading I 788 01:08:05,830 --> 01:08:09,280 thought might be a match is actually a C from reference, and 789 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:13,810 that's one of those things that Mike had mentioned. Also, there 790 01:08:13,810 --> 01:08:16,750 are two other C from references that appeared in that browse 791 01:08:16,750 --> 01:08:23,170 list. And there's a 667. That also includes the LCCN from the 792 01:08:23,170 --> 01:08:27,610 deleted authority record, and I'll mention it also appears in 793 01:08:27,610 --> 01:08:31,510 subfield Z of the O1O of this record but it's not included in 794 01:08:31,510 --> 01:08:36,520 the screenshot. So I'm going to import this authority record 795 01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:41,110 from OCLC into our Symphony authority file. I could wait 796 01:08:41,110 --> 01:08:45,430 around to see if Marcive would deliver it, but I usually don't 797 01:08:45,430 --> 01:08:48,430 wait for that, even if they do deliver it it's just going to 798 01:08:48,430 --> 01:08:55,000 overlay the one I import. So I've imported it I've gone back 799 01:08:55,030 --> 01:08:58,450 and I'm browsing than the LC name authority index in 800 01:08:58,450 --> 01:09:02,110 workflows so I can see now I have the correct authority 801 01:09:02,110 --> 01:09:08,800 record Sharon Hayes. Born in 1958. I'm going to delete the 802 01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:12,220 highlighted records so the first one is the one that's actually 803 01:09:12,220 --> 01:09:16,090 deleted so I call it the Delete record and the other one is 804 01:09:16,090 --> 01:09:21,340 Sharon Hayes, Deputy CIO, I usually refer to that as an 805 01:09:21,340 --> 01:09:24,490 extra record so I'm going to delete both of those and then 806 01:09:24,490 --> 01:09:31,150 I'm going to correct the bibliographic record. So, 807 01:09:31,180 --> 01:09:35,350 deleting the Delete record is easy, just go ahead and delete 808 01:09:35,350 --> 01:09:41,170 it. For the extra records. I actually record the LCCN before 809 01:09:41,170 --> 01:09:45,220 deleting it so that I can report it to Marcive for removal from 810 01:09:45,220 --> 01:09:49,240 our history file. If I don't report it Marcive will continue 811 01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,840 to deliver this authority record, whenever it's updated 812 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:57,190 and we don't need it, so you don't have to report the deleted 813 01:09:57,190 --> 01:10:01,720 record you just report the LCCN of any other authority record 814 01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:08,530 that you don't need in your file. So here I corrected the 815 01:10:08,530 --> 01:10:14,290 heading. So, And if you remember, I imported that 816 01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:19,720 authority record from OCLC so I need to report that LCCN to 817 01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,930 Marcive so the record can be added to our history file if I 818 01:10:22,930 --> 01:10:26,890 don't report it, Marcive does, doesn't know that you know it's 819 01:10:26,890 --> 01:10:31,060 in my authority file and, you know, they will not deliver the 820 01:10:31,060 --> 01:10:38,050 record whenever it's updated. So that's a deleted name, heading, 821 01:10:38,140 --> 01:10:41,500 and for subjects, you're going to see similar thing in the 822 01:10:41,500 --> 01:10:46,510 report log subject headings of authority ID is going to begin 823 01:10:46,510 --> 01:10:51,220 with the letters sh again. The report is not going to delete 824 01:10:51,220 --> 01:10:54,370 the record, just replaces it with the record marked for 825 01:10:54,370 --> 01:10:59,020 deletion the status has changed to D, and a note may be added in 826 01:10:59,020 --> 01:11:04,450 the 666 xx field to explain the reason for deletion. And just as 827 01:11:04,450 --> 01:11:07,450 I did with the deleted name heading I'm going to start my 828 01:11:07,450 --> 01:11:12,670 search and authority file by the authority ID. So here's the 829 01:11:12,670 --> 01:11:16,660 authority record for the deleted subject heading the status is D 830 01:11:16,660 --> 01:11:24,430 for deleted. The 150 heading, that's the one that's no longer 831 01:11:24,430 --> 01:11:26,680 is going to be used it's no longer going to be a subject 832 01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:31,660 heading. And there's a 682 field indicating this authority record 833 01:11:31,660 --> 01:11:34,660 has been deleted because the subject heading is covered by an 834 01:11:34,660 --> 01:11:37,840 identical name heading. And that's because fictitious 835 01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:44,440 headings are now named headings and that's due to REA. So 836 01:11:44,440 --> 01:11:48,760 Marcive delivered the authority record for the identical name 837 01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:54,760 heading, and you can see the LCCN for these deleted subject 838 01:11:54,760 --> 01:12:00,610 heading record. And now our headings, a 100 a name, heading. 839 01:12:00,970 --> 01:12:04,720 And we'll assign that as a personal name subject heading 840 01:12:04,750 --> 01:12:08,380 and 600 field and bibliographic records. 841 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:18,770 So I've corrected, have changed the 650 to 600 field, and, you 842 01:12:18,770 --> 01:12:28,100 know, change the indicators as needed. And the final example is 843 01:12:28,340 --> 01:12:32,930 a heading, that's changed from a 110 to 111 so a corporate name 844 01:12:32,930 --> 01:12:38,300 heading change to um, meaning name, heading. You get a little 845 01:12:38,300 --> 01:12:42,230 bit more information in the report log, you'll get the 846 01:12:42,260 --> 01:12:45,980 authority ID it'll tell you the heading is changed, manual 847 01:12:46,010 --> 01:12:48,740 intervention is required and it's actually going to show you 848 01:12:48,740 --> 01:12:54,650 the two headings. So this is the authority record that's been 849 01:12:54,650 --> 01:12:58,880 changed the status is C for changed, and you can see that 850 01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:02,270 the heading is now a meeting name heading. You can see the 851 01:13:02,270 --> 01:13:06,410 former corporate name heading is now a C from reference. 852 01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:13,350 And this is the bibliographic record before. It's been 853 01:13:13,350 --> 01:13:15,240 corrected it's a 110. 854 01:13:17,339 --> 01:13:22,469 And this is after the heading has been corrected. And I'll 855 01:13:22,469 --> 01:13:26,399 mention I do all of this manually, you could use the 856 01:13:26,399 --> 01:13:31,379 validate headings helper. If you choose that option I just prefer 857 01:13:31,379 --> 01:13:34,109 to do everything manually just because it's the way I've been 858 01:13:34,109 --> 01:13:34,649 doing it. 859 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:41,610 So that's a brief overview of how I handle 860 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:47,720 errors that might require manual intervention and I just wanted 861 01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,810 to mention and I can provide detailed instructions to LOUIS 862 01:13:50,810 --> 01:13:55,490 for, for all of this I will mention that reporting additions 863 01:13:55,490 --> 01:13:59,150 and deletions to the Marcive does involve a cost it's five 864 01:13:59,150 --> 01:14:06,290 cents per record or LCCN number, and there's a particular format 865 01:14:06,350 --> 01:14:11,120 that you use to report that information to Marcive and I can 866 01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:16,130 provide that. And I'm going to go ahead and stop sharing so 867 01:14:16,130 --> 01:14:18,860 that we can entertain your questions. 868 01:14:21,180 --> 01:14:29,460 I have a question on the, I guess your Marcive use, which 869 01:14:29,460 --> 01:14:33,330 you prefer, I mean seem like you prefer to do it beforehand and 870 01:14:33,330 --> 01:14:38,070 then let Marcive come in later versus, I guess, depending on 871 01:14:38,070 --> 01:14:41,070 how many records you'd have I guess, other places I worked at 872 01:14:41,070 --> 01:14:45,000 colleges they would use Marcive to the full extent. I guess 873 01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:49,560 because they would budget, but it seemed more efficient, you 874 01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,470 know to get it done and then we come in after there and start 875 01:14:52,470 --> 01:14:56,400 cleaning up after, we'll see some items but is that what I'm 876 01:14:56,400 --> 01:15:00,420 getting at you prefer to have you do it personally or your, 877 01:15:00,450 --> 01:15:04,290 your technical service group, and then use Marcive late I 878 01:15:04,380 --> 01:15:06,180 mean. Yeah, Marcive later. 879 01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,160 So, um. 880 01:15:09,300 --> 01:15:12,870 So Marcive has already processed our file so I'm just keeping up 881 01:15:12,870 --> 01:15:17,100 with, with the monthly stuff. Um, so I'm actually the person 882 01:15:17,100 --> 01:15:22,740 who does it. I, you know, we send off our bib. records and 883 01:15:22,740 --> 01:15:25,740 have them corrected but there's always going to be things that 884 01:15:25,740 --> 01:15:30,690 happen when you load authority records on a monthly basis that 885 01:15:30,690 --> 01:15:33,630 you have to handle. And that's what I'm doing, 886 01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:38,280 I get it. and then with the it's always kind of question who 887 01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:42,600 works in the records and that depth, meaning you use your 888 01:15:42,690 --> 01:15:46,320 career professionals or do you feel more comfortable me doing 889 01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:51,930 it, I guess, a librarian doing it, versus a copy cataloger or 890 01:15:51,930 --> 01:15:55,050 something or do you feel comfortable, or how's it done, 891 01:15:55,050 --> 01:15:55,560 did you do 892 01:15:55,590 --> 01:16:00,810 so, I do it, I inherited it from our cataloger who retired. Many 893 01:16:00,810 --> 01:16:07,530 years ago, and I just have not had the time to show our current 894 01:16:07,530 --> 01:16:11,610 cataloger how to do it. You know what I showed you was a very 895 01:16:11,610 --> 01:16:16,560 brief snippet of what I do I can spend a whole day going through 896 01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:18,900 a report log, it can be that, you know, 897 01:16:19,199 --> 01:16:20,099 okay. And that's 898 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:25,220 how involved so I'm, I'm hoping to pass this on or at least 899 01:16:25,220 --> 01:16:28,760 share it with our cataloger but at this point it's just me. 900 01:16:29,300 --> 01:16:32,930 Believe me, I know where you're at on that end, but yeah and 901 01:16:32,930 --> 01:16:35,750 that's one thing I'm questioning, you know against 902 01:16:35,750 --> 01:16:39,500 just starting here, Louisiana Tech and I know there's probably 903 01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:43,430 things to be cleaned up. But again, getting the load up it 904 01:16:43,430 --> 01:16:46,340 makes more sense on our end it's probably this makes sense on 905 01:16:46,340 --> 01:16:49,160 your end to do it that way so we'll see what happens. 906 01:16:49,930 --> 01:16:54,430 And there's a there's a there's a step that was before what Zee 907 01:16:54,430 --> 01:16:58,780 had shown Zee was showing us how to load the records, yeah there 908 01:16:58,870 --> 01:17:03,400 is that from Marcive where you export your bib records and send 909 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:07,480 them to Marcive. And that's how they tell which, you know, which 910 01:17:07,480 --> 01:17:12,040 records need to be updated. So, you know, that's, you know, 911 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,140 might be done at the beginning of the month or the end of the 912 01:17:14,140 --> 01:17:17,200 month depending you know you have some sort of schedule, and 913 01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:21,400 then some Marcive, you know, we'll send you something that 914 01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:24,970 says that they you know they process this, and then later, 915 01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:28,300 some, I don't know, I seem to remember it taken about a week 916 01:17:28,300 --> 01:17:33,490 or two, you would get the authorities to load. And then 917 01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:36,880 you, then you would follow is what Zee had showed there. 918 01:17:37,270 --> 01:17:42,520 Yeah, yeah, I've never used a Marcive and I guess a bigger 919 01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:46,840 project when we first at U of H. When we started getting into RDA 920 01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:50,590 you know have we just started dumping X amount of records to 921 01:17:50,590 --> 01:17:53,590 them, and getting them back and started cleaning up, but that 922 01:17:53,590 --> 01:17:58,990 was scheduled in a long process, and with me there I didn't know 923 01:17:58,990 --> 01:18:03,040 about the governor, government documents on how well that's 924 01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:08,890 been, I guess, looked at or how that's working right now I'm not 925 01:18:08,890 --> 01:18:12,850 familiar, on how it's working as far as records, we'll 926 01:18:12,630 --> 01:18:19,260 find out. Yeah, and so Dale what Marcive does is, first of all, 927 01:18:19,350 --> 01:18:22,830 even if you are going to do it in the middle. When you extract 928 01:18:22,830 --> 01:18:27,780 your bib records and send it to them, they will process the bib, 929 01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:32,460 bib records correct them all the punctuation all the audio new 930 01:18:32,460 --> 01:18:37,560 fields and tags. And then they make a copy of the authority 931 01:18:37,950 --> 01:18:41,910 that they create and keep it as your history file. So any 932 01:18:41,910 --> 01:18:46,080 changes that come through. They want it against the history file 933 01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:48,630 and that's when they said the modification and changes that 934 01:18:48,630 --> 01:18:51,480 are taking place and that is what Natalie is pointing out 935 01:18:51,690 --> 01:18:55,080 that she lets them know, so that they update those history files 936 01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,330 and they don't keep sending you the same record over and over 937 01:18:57,330 --> 01:18:59,190 again, making extra work for you, 938 01:18:59,339 --> 01:19:04,139 and not getting double charts kind of deal. Yeah, that makes 939 01:19:04,139 --> 01:19:07,079 sense. And again, I thank you for your input on that. 940 01:19:14,440 --> 01:19:18,070 Any other questions. We've gone a little bit over our time but 941 01:19:18,730 --> 01:19:20,770 we started slightly late too 942 01:19:27,590 --> 01:19:31,220 the good thing here is that this presentation has been recorded. 943 01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:36,110 It was pretty information dense, so congratulations if you were 944 01:19:36,110 --> 01:19:41,330 able to follow every step along the way but you'll be able to 945 01:19:41,330 --> 01:19:48,230 refer to the documentation. Probably going out with this and 946 01:19:48,230 --> 01:19:53,720 then, as well as the recording itself. So, thank you so much 947 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:57,770 for attending our Learning With LOUIS and be sure to join us 948 01:19:58,010 --> 01:19:59,090 next time. 949 01:19:59,759 --> 01:20:01,079 All right, thank you all guys. 950 01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:02,580 Yeah. 951 01:20:03,660 --> 01:20:04,740 Thank you.
