    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]);

    For other queries that may be useful, see my "Surviving Almanado: tips for a successful pre-implementation" presentation's Accompanying Materials.

    Posted as is. If you need assistance in running custom SQL queries in Prepackaged Access Reports, consult the Voyager Customer Listserv.
