Product IDs and how they display in Instances - This includes ISBNs, ISSNs, ISMNs, GPO numbers, catalog numbers, vendor product IDs, ASINs, UPC codes, etc. | | - Slides (add link)
- Identifier in inventory and acquisition
- Control numbers, record and product ID's
- In orders: section for product ID's
- Is there a difference between prodcut ID or record ID?
- Can be added manually, automatically from inventory (if title already resides there)
- example: 20 volume set - each volume needs to be ordered by itself (no set ordering needed)
- What ISBN / ISSN shall be transmitted to the vendors? All of them or a choice? Which choice?
- Different workflows need different data:
- import from vendor
- start in inventory with bibliographic data
- start in orders = no item data for partial volume available
- How to identify the "right" ID for the order process (= most relevant to the vendor)?
- one agreed option: just take ISBN-13, drop ISBN-10
- Offer a picking list of ISBN's to choose from for the order - see differentiation by the "addon information, e.g print / paperback"
- Picking list for all kind of ID's?
- e-material: bibliographic data maybe not sufficient - vendor specific information needs to be added to the orders - if it is not orders via vendor webshop
- Usage of notes?
- Good integration of most important vendor webshops is critical - workflows switch from "sending orders out of the system" to "import orders into the system"
- Option for "personal choice" is needed
- No support of ID's marked as "invalid" - even if this is not always correct - other option: mark them as "invalid" in the picking list
- Other ID's - choice is presented: more talk with MM SIG
- If only ISBN-10 is present, ISBN-13 should be calculated and used for the process
- Search with and without hyphens
- ISBNs in MARC records are mainly saved without hyphens
- is it necessary to show them again anywhere: we know that librarians opinions differ here - but maybe no real need
- Please visit the discuss posts shown in the slides
