Overview
To support original cataloging workflows, librarians need a way to create a new MARC authority record via the UI. Some of these use cases include:
- Create headings that more closely align to the mission/objectives of my institution (locally created/managed)
- Create headings that do not yet exist in external databases
- Create records to distribute to other libraries as part of a standard database (as the distributing agency)
- Create records to contribute to a standard/external database as part of cooperative cataloging (as the contributing agency)
- Create records for eventual replacement by external record
This feature builds upon existing logic to look for prefixes to assign an authority file by either generating an HRID in the 001 per a configured sequence, or by moving the value entered manually in the 010 $a to the 001.
In scope
- Ability to create new MARC authority record from quickMARC, access point = MARC authority app
- New configuration settings and validation rules
- Maintenance of authority source files / HRID generation per tenant configuration
- Assignment of authority file to newly created records
- Default MARC authority field values to populate quickMARC UI
- Default MARC fields to populate once record is created
- Required MARC authority fields to create a MARC authority record via quickMARC UI
- New permission for creation of authority record
