06:40 | Chicago's ABLE bindery integration | Questions are: What is the general workflow + ABLE mappings. |
08:55 | Slides | Connection via z39.50 server. Wanted to include all parts of the call number + transform special characters. Complexity of call numbers in FOLIO (it's in different places and fields) |
11:49 | Slides | 925 subfield mapping + Z-Link Mapping + Call number rule (where to add line breaks of spaces) - we wanted to required as little editing as possible, but there's always some. |
13:23 | Result in ABLE | Ended up being extremely functional and usable. Everything we wanted ends up being there. |
14:23 | How do you have your call number info in the 952? | ffective call number is created on the fly. Also: The client is very old, and only knows marc fields, so the data you want to give it has to be shoved into a marc field. Part of requirement for z39.50 server was to map stuff from holdings and items into a marc field. It's a specific server for our ABLE client. |
17:00 | What are any common issues you run into? | The connection to Z39.50 server is unstable if you don't use ABLE often. It's a clunky piece of software, but once you learn how to use it, it's ok. |
20:00 | Index Data were good at getting the configuration done + configure our customisations. We use this server for other services: access point for ILL, supporting services for catalogue and info for figuring out what map to displace, Web-based services that don't go deep into FOLIO for the information. This is an edge module that is hosted in the environment. End result = FOLIO has pretty configurable Z39.50 server. | |
26:35 | Do you have to worry when they update the Z39.50? Does that ever break anything? | We test before we roll out to production. |
