  • Optimistic locking: POs and Dev Leads met yesterday to start planning testing for Lotus

  • Import/Export/quickMARC sandbox environment

    • First draft created, but not yet ready for use

    • Khalilah, Magda, and A-M met yesterday to discuss guidelines

  • From last week's meeting:

    • When an updated MARC-to-Instance map is delivered as part of a release, how does it affect a library's customized map?

    • Once the map has been updated, it possible to do a refresh of the instances to take the updated mappings into account? (can we crib Ian's script?)

    • See new wiki information page

    • And possible formalized script in Lotus

Agenda topic: 

  • Lotus Feature Prep: Update Inventory records based on POL/VRN matches

    • See notes on the feature page

    • A-M to clean up the edited feature page - DONE 

    • Subgroup folks

      • Send A-M examples of MARC records with 9xx data meant to update multiple holdings or items

      • Think about scenarios where you're trying to match from a MARC field that is repeatable (e.g. a 9xx field) and to a field that is repeatable (e.g. POL's Vendor Reference. Number) - would this affect the matching logic?

  • Next week: continue refining this feature
