Cataloging: JSTOR DDA Downloads

Purpose: Prepare batch loads of bibliographic records for Demand Driven Access in URSUS for participating libraries: UMS, MSL and BPL.

Batch loads of ebook records for JSTOR content are made available through the OCLC WorldShare Collection Manager.  Updates are currently available daily.   4/17/15

Retrieve Records from WorldShare Collection Manager

    [Note: Chrome browser recommended for this interface]
  2. Select My Files from left-hand navigation bar

NOTE: If more than one file is waiting to be downloaded, be sure to process in the order posted.  Essential to proper record update sequence.

Customize Records with MarcEdit

Open the .mrk file that was downloaded in MARCEdit.  There are three global field edits that currently need to be made in MARCEdit.

  1. Delete the 590 supplied by OCLC — Using the Tool>Add/Delete Field (F7), enter the 590 field and cut and paste the text in the field into the dialog box. Click Delete field, and confirm
  2. The proxy is added to the 856 via the WorldShare profile.
  3. Copy and paste an 856 field from a sample record to be sure the link is active and retrieves the appropriate record.

When finished with these operations save the file, and then compile the file to MARC using File>Compile File into MARC.
