ELUNA Document RepositoryA Diversity of Data: Adventures in Automated ALEPH Batch Loading of Vendor MARC RecordsPascal V.CalarcoauthorMarkDehmlowauthorPascal Calarco, Systems Librarian and Head, Library Systems, University of Notre Dame; Mark Dehmlow, Electronic Services Librarian, University of Notre Dame. Loading Vendor-provided MARC records for electronic books and other entities into ALEPH is a complex task, with a new adventure to every record set. We will present on the work of our team of cataloging staff, ALEPH and electronic resources systems staff and librarians, who have developed policies, workflows, data standards, and automated tools to make the process a little less daunting. Intended audience is anyone interested in MARC record manipulation and loading for an ILS. Outcomes: you will learn the issues and processes with loading vendor MARC record sets into ALEPH.
