Question
What fields are used to match titles and holdings that appear in the Rialto holdings panel?
Answer
The Rialto holdings panel matches titles primarily through ISBN matching. ISBN's for a title are determined in two ways:
- The first is how you have them grouped in your Alma holdings.
- The second is using work grouping information loaded from our Bowker Books In Print database. This creates a fairly comprehensive list of ISBN's to match against for each title.
However, ISBN matching does not catch everything. For this reason, a second dynamic match using a title/author lookup at display time interacts directly with Alma. This will ensure the maximum number of matches will be retrieved.
