What can GDC do?
-
Can edit marc tags, fields
-
can delete, edit, add
-
can set preferences
-
can limit by user names including create rules but not implement – so some one person could create rules but someone else has authority to run; can define by user role what can be edited (R note could be useful for a review/test process)
Examples:
-
all records must have ____ (specific criteria; R note in the case of POs 910 = PA + lacking 245 indicators )
-
like a global find and replace (R note: YES! yes! So, could fix typos in 5xx fields! or invalid MARC tagging in PO ; looks useful)
How to do it:
-
create record set (R note: we could use old provisional records with incorrect marc indicators as a test)
-
RULE: create a rule use if/then statements
-
further define rules through sets – (R note: daisy chain together) to edit multiple fields – one rule for each field but then change them
-
Preview /Review before change
-
Will highlight changes
-
Jump through set of records (e.g., 10 records at a time – your choice)
-
If you find something that doesn’t belong, you can remove it manually during preview
-
If rule doesn’t work, you will get a notice
-
Update or review changes before you actually run
Run job or schedule
More powerful/easier to use than marcedit
More examples – updated authorized headings (RDA)
fixed fields
add OCLC #s
cleanup recon
add/remove standard notes
changed locations – pick and scan for item tho (of course you have to have the barcode…. but you don’t have to have piece – R note) doesn’t interfere with cataloging work – because whoever has record open has it (“locked” sort of) ; can schedule
