$4 MARC relator code incorrect values

$4 MARC relator code incorrect values

Issue

MARC relator codes in the $4 were used before the advent of of RDA relationship designators. These $4 codes will be mapped to equivalent RDA RDs in the ultimate migration of catalog data to FOLIO. However, we have some incorrect values in some $4s in our records which need to be resolved, so that these mappings are successful.

Record status (Leader/05) invalid values

Record status (Leader/05) invalid values

Issue

Valid values are a, c, d, n, p; we have a lot of invalid values.

Will need to run a Create List to grab invalid values. Probably export to spreadsheet will be most effective for isolating invalid values.

001s to 035s

001s to 035s

Issue

Possible project needed to identify control numbers (OCLC and vendor) in the 001 that aren’t present in corresponding 035 fields, and therefore are not mapped to identifier types in FOLIO.

Status

Tentative project pending This might already be in the works – Dao and Lucas can clarify/confirm.

Invalid language codes

Invalid language codes

Issue

~3500 records with invalid language codes need correcting.

  • ??? and unk can probably be globally updated to und

  • Others will need manual review and changes, with an eye to ISO codes that may be present

    • Lucas’s notes: Some codes flagged as invalid are valid iso639-3 codes and rightly tagged in the source MARC record's 041; some others have the same three characters as valid iso639-3 code but not coded as iso639-3 in 041$2 which I think may be invalid (have to take a look of the MARC 546 to decide)

Instructions

  • Run a Create List identifying these records in Sierra

  • Add appropriate 336$b data.

  • Other instructions TBD by Autumn.

Instance format 338 $b

Instance format 338 $b

Issue

Leading or trailing spaces in Sierra MARC record causing valid 338$b values to appear as errors in FOLIO migration.

Review file 379 has 391 records needing removal of these spaces, and there are some other formatting issues in the 338 field that can be resolved as well.

See 338 Carrier Type (oclc.org) for correct formatting and values.
