Voyager to Alma Migration Query: Bibliographic Records with an ISSN but the format is not for Serials
When migrating from Voyager to Alma, it may be desirable to identfy and review those bibliographic records that have an ISSN but whose MARC leader bib format value is not "s" (for serials).
This query, which can be run using Voyager Prepackaged Access Reports, finds all bibliographic records that contain an ISSN but do not have a "s" MARC leader bib level value.
SELECT BIB_TEXT.BIB_ID, BIB_TEXT.ISSN, BIB_TEXT.BIB_FORMAT,
utf8to16([bib_text].[TITLE_BRIEF]) AS Title_Brief,
utf8to16([bib_text].[PUBLISHER_DATE]) AS Publisher_date
FROM BIB_TEXT
WHERE (((BIB_TEXT.ISSN)<>" " And (BIB_TEXT.ISSN) Is Not Null)
AND ((BIB_TEXT.BIB_FORMAT) Not Like "*s"))
ORDER BY utf8to16([bib_text].[PUBLISHER_DATE]);
