the import runs faster, but you then need to run the Update Keywords utility
before you can perform keyword searches (see page 345).
Important: If you need to import records from a Winnebagor database, there are
some additional steps you should take. See page 297 for details.
Importing MARC 21/852 Holdings data
This feature lets you import MARC 21/852 Holdings title/copy records from a
vendor or another library. Use it also for importing WebPath bibliographic
records (BIB856.001).
1. From the Cataloging menu bar, choose File | Import MARC 21/852 Holdings
Format. The Import MARC 21/852 Holdings Format dialog appears:
Checks for duplicate bibliographic records. If
your records are better than the ones you're
importing, select Skip. If you're updating your
records, select Replace.
You can check your results
before you import.
To see what records might
have problems, click Preview.
To import MARC records exported from
Winnebago R CIRC/CAT R v6.7 or Spectrum R
v3.x or v4.x, select this option. (Not available in
Union Catalog Plus or on Mac OS.)
Checks for duplicate copy barcodes. If your
copy records are more complete than the ones
you're importing, select Skip. If you want to
update your copy information, select Replace.
Select this option to add imported titles to the
Book Cart.
Click to assign barcodes,
a circulation type, and add
other information to
incoming copies.
S Select the manner in which the import process handles duplicate records
for both MARC records and copies. Choose Skip to preserve your
existing record; choose Replace to overwrite the existing one with the
incoming record.
The import process determines whether an incoming MARC record is a
duplicate by comparing control numbers, standard numbers, or, if those
are missing, by comparing title, author, and publication information.
The process determines whether an incoming copy is a duplicate by
comparing barcode numbers. All incoming copies must have a barcode,
either existing in the import record, or assigned in the Options dialog
(see Step 2).
S To create a list, sorted by call number, author, or title, of the titles
imported, check Add Titles to Book Cart. Because this option adds to the
Book Cart only the titles that were successfully imported, the resulting
printout complements the exception report.
In the Book Cart, you can perform an autorecon on just the imported
records. You can also transfer them to and from MARC Magician, if you
have that program. For more information on the Book Cart, see page 346.
