    Extract bibliographic data from a specific sub-library to COPAC

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 22

    Desired Outcome Goal:
    Extract from a specific sub-library ABC bibliographic and holdings data to export it to a UK union catalogue called COPAC http://copac.ac.uk/

    Procedure:
    1) In CATALOG GUI call up service "Retrieve Records Using CCL (ret-03)" and use "Command Language Phrase" = "wsl = ( abc )". Choose a name for the output file (e.g. "outputret03")

    2) When the service has finished call up service "Download Machine-Readable Records (print-03)".
    User your output file from ret-03 (e.g. "outputret03") as input file now.
    Choose a name for the output file (e.g. "outputprint03").
    Enter "ALL" for Field 1.

    3) Provide the output file of print_03 to COPAC.

    Additional Information

    From the COPAC homepage http://copac.ac.uk/librarians/contributing/ we understand that COPAC is able to load data in MARC XML but even in „Aleph sequential format”. So you need to provide to COPAC an output file of p_print_03.

    From your configuration files in ./xxx01/tab we see that you have setup a sub-library word index called WSL.
