Submitting requests
- Selector creates an “order” by completing and submitting the above form, which sends a request to: ecatrequest@libform at: http://bibtrack.lib.msu.edu./
- The form requests:
- the resource URL, as it should appear in the catalog
- a title as apparent to someone viewing the record
- the HTML tag title
- selectors' initials
- a fund code
Acquisitions processing
- Check forms delivered to the ecatrequest mailbox
- Log onto the staff interface
- Search for type of records desired
- Click on the ticket number
- Cut and paste from the information supplied by the selector.
- Separate bib and order templates, both called wburl, will supply constant data
- There must be a minimum of a title and URL for each bib record created.
- No searching required for:
- Duplication
- Add process
- OCLC copy
Acquisitions URL verification
After records are created:
- Right click on URL
- Click “Open URL” to make sure the URL works
- Review the URL for accuracy.
If the URL works:
- ensure title given by the selector nominally matches the result they obtained by using the URL
- mark the form in the ecatrequest file as complete
If the URL doesn't work:
- suppress bib record with code n
- in item record note field, add [today’s date] Returned to selector, [initials]
- return order to selector
- mark ecatrequest form with appropriate error status
- email selector reporting the problem
- selector will respond via ecatrequest form
- when correction is received, update and unsuppress bib record
- mark ecatrequest form complete
If cataloger reports broken URL:
- locate original request
- change status from complete to appropriate status
- follow up as detailed above
Cataloging
- Search in the "o" control number index for “Webcat” to retrieve list of titles awaiting cataloging
- Consult cataloging procedures for specific kinds of e-resources as needed
- If a URL breaks after input and before cataloging:
- suppress bib with code n
- change 001 to "Webcat problem"
- add 590 note explaining the problem.
- email selector listed in order record requesting a new URL and
- copy Acquisitions staff responsible for Webcats.
- Acquistions staff will coordinate with selector
Other issues
For titles that can't be cataloged:
- Enter Webcat problem in 001 field to allow these records to be assigned as a separate workflow.
Duplicates:
- Report to the Head of Acquisitions to be removed.
- Since the switch from Sierra to FOLIO, Acquisitions is no longer involved.
Cataloging
- On a regular basis, usually weekly, an original cataloger views new requests on the bibtrack form at the URL above.
- If the URL for the resource does not work, cataloger attempts to find a working URL. If one is not found, cataloger emails the selector. If selector also does not find a working URL, cataloger marks the request status as "Error"
- Cataloger must sign in with library credentials to edit status.
- If the URL does not link to a freely-available resource, cataloger emails the selector. If a different URL cannot be supplied, cataloger marks the request status as "Error"
- If the URL links to a freely-available resource, the cataloger catalogs the resource according to current practice for the appropriate format.
- Format is most often text or integrating resource, but may also be graphic, video, etc.
- Request help as needed from a cataloger familiar with the format (eg, maps, serials)
- If the resource is a serial, neither holdings nor an LDR is done.
- In the FOLIO item record, cataloger includes a staff note with the request number (eg, webcat #1234)
- Cataloger marks the bibtrack request status as "Closed"
