PromptCat load

Description

The UCLA Library receives various files of bibliographic records from GOBI Library Solutions via WorldCat Cataloging Partners. This service makes the local acquisitions and cataloging processes more efficient by providing MARC records for our catalog and setting our holdings in OCLC.

UCLA Library DIIT (Digital Initiatives & Information Technology) loads these files of MARC records into Voyager using Pbulkimport bulk import program to create bib and holdings records and a purchase order. A second, custom loader then updates the Voyager records by adding item records.

The first part of the process is automated via a program which runs on the Voyager Production Server.  

The second part is automated on the BatchCat PC which transfers files from the Voyager server, loads records into Voyager, and moves files to a shared folder: K:\WorkGroups\OCLC PromptCat Reports\YBP\.

UCLA Library DIIT (Digital Initiatives & Information Technology) supports this service.
