Voyager to Alma Migration Query: ISBN Numbers that are less than 10 digits

When migrating from Voyager to Alma, it may be helpful to identify and review those bibliographic records where the ISBN number is less than ten digits.

This query, which can be run using Voyager's Prepackaged Access Reports, lists those records where the ISBN is less than ten characters in length, and allows libraries to correct the data if desired.

SELECT BIB_TEXT.BIB_ID, utf8to16([bib_text].[ISBN]) AS Isbn,
utf8to16([bib_text].[NETWORK_NUMBER]) AS Network_Number
FROM BIB_TEXT
WHERE (((Len([ISBN]))<Val(10)))
ORDER BY Len([ISBN]);
