MARCIt Record Loads
The following is the general process for adding bibliographic records generated by the SFX/MARCIt! service to the catalog. These are CONSER records for serials the library offers through individual or package subscriptions, database aggregators, or open access.
On a bi-monthly basis Mike Allard generates MARCIt! records using the MARCIt! Tool within the SFX Admin Center. Generally MARCIt contains CONSER records for serials, but there are some exceptions, such as the Oxford Reference Online Premium Collection. SFX active targets with non-serial objects should be de-selected from the MARCIt load.
Mike generates spreadsheets with “deletes” and “non-SFX urls” (from the revisions report), puts them in Coll_Management:\Acquisitions\MARCIt, and sends a message to eleres with filenames. E-resources staff reviews:
“deletes” to confirm that a.) they are not currently active in SFX or b.) don't have an active order record attached and are awaiting pending activation. Either “delete” or “do not delete” is added in a notes column for each title/record.
“non-SFX urls” to remove the non-SFX url in most cases, UNLESS it provides additional access at a host not available as an SFX target. This should be noted in the z subfield, e.g. “UMass: Connect to this title at Woodstock for current issues”.
The processes for generating bibliographic records for new e-journals is described in EJournals - Adding New Titles (MARCIt).
