the import runs faster, but you then need to run the Update Keywords utility

before you can perform keyword searches (see page 345).

Important: 

 If you need to import records from a Winnebago  database, there are

some additional steps you should take. See page 297 for details.

Importing MARC 21/852 Holdings data

This feature lets you import MARC 21/852 Holdings title/copy records from a

vendor or another library. Use it also for importing WebPath bibliographic

records (BIB856.001).
1. From the Cataloging menu bar, choose File | Import MARC 21/852 Holdings

Format. The Import MARC 21/852 Holdings Format dialog appears:

Checks for duplicate bibliographic records. If

your records are better than the ones you're 

importing, select Skip. If you're updating your

records, select Replace.

You can check your results

before you import. 

To see what records might

have problems, click Preview.

To import MARC records exported from 

Winnebago



 CIRC/CAT



 v6.7 or Spectrum



v3.x or v4.x, select this option. (Not available in

Union Catalog Plus or on Mac OS.)

Checks for duplicate copy barcodes. If your

copy records are more complete than the ones

you're importing, select Skip. If you want to 

update your copy information, select Replace.

Select this option to add imported titles to the

Book Cart.

Click to assign barcodes,

a circulation type, and add

other information to

incoming copies.



Select the manner in which the import process handles duplicate records

for both MARC records and copies. Choose Skip to preserve your

existing record; choose Replace to overwrite the existing one with the

incoming record.
The import process determines whether an incoming MARC record is a

duplicate by comparing control numbers, standard numbers, or, if those

are missing, by comparing title, author, and publication information.
The process determines whether an incoming copy is a duplicate by

comparing barcode numbers. All incoming copies must have a barcode,

either existing in the import record, or assigned in the Options dialog

(see Step 2).



To create a list, sorted by call number, author, or title, of the titles

imported, check Add Titles to Book Cart. Because this option adds to the

Book Cart only the titles that were successfully imported, the resulting

printout complements the exception report.
In the Book Cart, you can perform an autorecon on just the imported

records. You can also transfer them to and from MARC Magician, if you

have that program. For more information on the Book Cart, see page 346.
