[I've put a printed copy of this on many people's desks. I just wanted to
send it as e-mail to make sure it was on the record. I've already handed
MR a printed copy.]
MIT would like to migrate 930 data into both 866 tags and item records.
The 866 would serve as a backup, we know its ugly, but we know it is
doable.
The 866 tags will be created just as they were during the first GMA,
except that 930i information will migrate to the public note subfield
866z.
The item records to be created from the GLIS 930 tag during the GMA,
which we call "summary items", will not include barcodes, but they
will include our summary holding (930j) and note (930i) information
in the preservation note (852g) field of the item record. Every item
record created in this way will also include the value "Serial" in the
call number suffix (852z) field. (Note that this means "Serial" will
display in the "Status" column of OPAC brief and full displays instead
of the default "In Library".)
The GMA will supply a space-slash-space between the 930i and 930j
information to set them apart from each other. For example, a 930i of
"v.1, no.1, Jan. 1995-" and 930j of "Latest on Ref" would become an 852g
of "Latest on Ref / v.1, no.1, Jan. 1995-".
The mapping of GLIS 930 tags to Advance 852 tags will be as follows:
930 852 Description
l,m a,b,c,k,x GLIS locations to Advance locations,
this should be exactly the same as for
GLIS 966 to Advance 852 migration
d h Call numbers, note we won't be using 852i
i,j g Notes and holdings, these two fields are
merged into the 852g with a space-slash-space
between the two. See paragraph above.
