Resource Management - June 2018 Enhancements

Idea Exchange: To more easily manage the Authority Control Task List, facets were added that enable you to filter the lists that appear on the Review and All tabs. See Using the Authority Control Task List for more information. Additional facets/filters will be implemented in coming releases.

Idea Exchange: In the MD Editor, multiple fields (rows) can be deleted by selecting them with Ctrl+click and then selecting the Remove Field option (Edit > Remove Field) or Ctrl+F6. This is in addition to the existing option to mark several fields and copy/paste them as a group. See Remove Field for more information.

When using the portfolio loader template/Excel file (see The Bulk Portfolio Information File) to import records, you may now use the 035 field other system number for your match criteria (in your import profile). As announced in the May release, the portfolio loader template/Excel file handles three additional columns for the other system number. In addition, when you export a list of portfolios (Electronic Service Editor > Portfolios tab), the Excel file that is created contains up to three other system number columns when that information is available. See 035 (Other System Identifier) Match Method and Tools for more information.

The Alma Link Resolver and Primo View It now support the display of electronic collections with no portfolios when certain additional OpenURL attribute-related conditions are met. See Display Condition Rules for more information. Contact Support to enable this feature for your institution.

The 249 field (Titles for parts of compilations lacking a collective title etc. (NR)) is now configurable in the MARC 21 Bibliographic profile using Metadata Configuration. This includes the following subfields: $a – Title for part of compilation (R), $b – Other title information relating to the compilation (NR), $c - Statement of responsibility relating to the compilation (NR), and $v – Statement of responsibility relating to the title for part of compilation (R).

In search results, the 249 information now appears with the 245 title information in the following format: 245 data; 249 $a / 249 $v : 249 $b / 249 $c.

The 249 is indexed in the following manner:

• Title index – 249 $a, $b
• Names index – 249 $c, $v
• Keywords index – 249 $a, $b, $c, $v

See the MARC 21 Bibliographic Tag to Search Index Mapping table.

For the staff search options and search results to display as described above, a full re-indexing for any 249 fields cataloged prior to the June release is required. The next full re-indexing is scheduled for the July release. Newly cataloged 249 fields beginning with the June release will be automatically indexed and available in the staff search and search results.

• For general publishing jobs that do not complete because a dependent job is still running and they are stopped by the system, the job report status is now identified as Aborted by System instead of Failed. The job failure reason that is provided indicates that the job is skipped due to a previous instance of the job still running.

• Three additional monthly scheduling options are now available for publishing jobs, making a total of four uniquely configurable monthly options.
• In the Network Zone, an additional scheduling option was added for publishing electronic records to Primo Central in order to enable you to publish the Network Zone records a day before member institution records.
• When the enable_file_extension_fix_in_general_publishing_profiles customer parameter (an internal parameter) is set to true (by Ex Libris staff), the .xml and .mrc file name extensions are added to the FTP file names created when publishing with the general publishing profile. In addition, the tar.gz file name/files issues when file compression was enabled is fixed. See File name prefix and File name for more information. For existing installations, contact Support if you want to implement this change. New installations will automatically have this parameter set to true.

• For records that have alternate graphic representations, search results now include alternate graphic representations when physical title searches are completed. Previously, they appeared only in all titles search results.
