Project summary/background
Some of the records in the HathiTrust record load came from Spanish library sources, so all the subjects & names were in Spanish. This mini-project identifies the names of Popes that need to be changed to the English form of name.
Project instructions
Open the spreadsheet “Popes in Spanish” https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16sRLDMarQa4heqVeUzpvY6xqIwJg_ms4AXDUARnaH4Q/edit?usp=sharing
Put your initials after some of the names in the Initials column. This will prevent multiple people from editing the same field in the same record at the same time.
In Sierra, search the name in the first column (Spanish form of name)
Replace that name with the form of name found in the second column (LCNAF form of name)
Save the bib record.
Rinse and repeat!
If you have any questions or problems, put them in the Questions column.
