Project summary/background

When the ROVI Phase III records were created, every name was entered in indirect order, which was not correct for musical groups. For example, the Rolling Stones appeared as Stones, Rolling.

This project flips those reversed names back to direct order and adds (when appropriate) the qualifier (Musical group).

Project instructions

  • Open the spreadsheet named ROVI Indirect Band Names list

  • Search the name in Sierra as written on the spreadsheet.

  • For each bib record found, replace the indirect version of the band name with a direct version.

  • If the name is NOT highlighted in green, add the qualifier (Musical group)

    • There should be a space between the band name and the qualifier.

    • Names highlighted in green do not need a qualifier since they contain a word that already indicates that it is a musical group (e.g. “orchestra”).

  • Save the record.

  • Put an X on the spreadsheet in the column marked Done.

  • If you have any questions, record them on the spreadsheet in the column marked Questions.
