Agenda
Susan, Martin, Bianca, Pam, Trish, Mike

Security certificate expired for Macaw. Martin asked Trish to send issue to Carolyn to check in with Kristina

Getting BHL into OCLC
1) Review the email exchange and help ensure that everything is in order
2) Mike - How many title lack start dates or dates of publication. Will help us determine best way to move forward

Are they planning to use the MODS export? Or OAI-PMH?
OCLC has been trying to get BHL records into WorldCat, title records that we'll put BHL Holding symbol on BHLMR.
They can now take our MODS and translate into MARC to load into OCLC.
Not entirely sure how they're getting the MODS

MODS export includes external content like in Madrid

What is the plan for making updates?
We update at beginning of month. How often will they make updates?
Sounds like they are not able to make updates because it is a custom process

The refresh schedule hasn't been discussed
If we make changes to existing records, basically it would be difficult to get those reflected in WorldCat

They're using MARC EDIT to transform MODS to MARC

December 4 - tell OCLC we'll be ready to go by then

For external stuff, do we care that they'll be getting all of that stuff?
Currently in flux with contributors whether to include e-resources
Right now Martin is in favor of being inclusive

7500 titles without generic start years
6500 of those are external, other 1500 held within BHL

Bianca's preference is not to include external links but if it creates extra work, ok to let it go

Would we want those 1,500 or so corrected before we load? Martin: no.
Existing records - changes are trickier in OCLC.
DPLA drops everything and re-loads

13,000 without any local content (i.e., external)

Batch article ingest update
Waiting for final feedback from test group
Susan will try to take a quick look today
Bianca can take a quick look, too. You can also deliberately introduce errors and anomalies into files from Susan, or Susan can send more files. Bianca will work with the files she has, and try to get back to Mike by end of day today.
Just email to current distribution group (Diane, Susan, Bianca, Trish, Marissa, Mike)
