Has anyone implemented batch loading of information from holdings records? I believe I've heard of some sites putting specific holdings fields into particular MARC bib fields. Any other approaches in use or underway or thought about? Reason: We've had interest here in having facets for both library locations (there are about 20 physical library locations on campus) and for call numbers (presumably first letter major divisions and second letter subdivisions - we use LC). I suspect we will also want to browse by full call number within and across physical locations. Clearly, to do the above, we must batch load our locations and call numbers. This information, as I understand it, resides in our item/ holdings records, not our bib records. So we need a way to batch load holdings information -- at least for location and call number. We would want to continue to provide availability, due date and possibly reserve information with a realtime query. Naomi Dushay nd...@st... |
