Cataloging after Acquisitions migration

Summary: These procedures detail temporary cataloging workflows for the interim period in which cataloging continues in Sierra while Acquisitions work is done in FOLIO. These workflows will be in effect until cataloging functions are also switched over to FOLIO (expected in December 2021).

Overview of changes

• For materials acquired after July 1, 2021, orders will be created by Acq in FOLIO

General cataloging

• Bringing records into Sierra (no overlay?)

• Providing Acq with Sierra bib numbers OR catalogers making this entry in FOLIO order line record

• Process for tracking/protecting Instance records in production created by Acq on point of order?

Shelf-ready

• For approval books (shelf-ready), bibs will still be loaded into Sierra
• Acq staff will put the Sierra bib number in the matching FOLIO Instance record
• Catalogers must make sure to overlay on the same bib record in Sierra, instead of bringing in a new record and moving order records
  • If this isn't possible, put new bib record number in FOLIO Instance record field "Sierra bib number"

Web cats 

• Currently, Lisa B. grabs info from webcats form and creates order record; in attached bib, she puts in 010 "webcat" so Janet can search and find them
• Use temporary location code instead?

Add locs, add copies, analytics, etc.

• Need to think through all these – any hiccups anticipated?
