MARCIt records for e-journals
project to implement MARCIt service
McGill University Library Feb. 2006
![Page 2: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Scope of MARCIt project
• MARCIt records are only for e-journals
• MARCIt does not supply records for e-books, databases and other electronic resources
• regular procedures will continue for e-resources not covered by MARCIt
![Page 3: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Current displaye.g. American political science review

New display in the catalogue
![Page 5: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Past practice: multiple records for e-journals in the catalogue
• for many titles, our users have access to: print version of a journal
+electronic version through one or more vendors
• past practice: one record for the print version
+one record for each vendor who gives us electronic access
![Page 6: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Then came FindIt
• new linking software, like our FindIt McGill, has changed how we access e-journals
• FindIt is powered by a database called the SFX Knowledge Base – the Knowledge Base is created and maintained by Ex
Libris– content in the Knowledge Base is localized and
activated at McGill by LTS and LSO staff to match the full text e-journals to which we have access
![Page 7: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2 databases
(1) SFX Knowledge Basefor the FindIt button to work, we need to keep the SFX Knowledge Base precisely updated with information about titles, holdings and access
(2) Library Cataloguewe also need to keep the library catalogue precisely updated
currently: every change has to be done twice:
library catalogue + SFX Knowledge Base
![Page 8: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
FindIt + MARCIt records
new approach: use the information in the SFX Knowledge Base in 2 ways:
(a) to continue to enable linking from citations in indexing & abstracting databases to full-text in e-journals
(b) to generate MARC cataloguing records to be used in our library catalogue through the use of a special
service on an Ex Libris server called MARCIt
![Page 9: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How MARCIt service works
copy of McGill’s Knowledge Base information sent to the MARCIt server
MARCIt server processes this information
returns a file of MARC records
to McGill
McGill loads the file into the catalogue mirroring the latest information from the SFX Knowledge Base
![Page 10: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Impact of MARCIt records on the catalogue
only 1 record for the electronic version
whether we have access through only one vendor or through
multiple vendors
![Page 11: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Simpler display
1 record for the print version
1 record for the electronic version
then click on
for detailed access info.

New display in the catalogue
![Page 13: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FindIt menu a bigger role
• FindIt menu replaces multiple records in the catalogue
• FindIt menu tells you how we have access
• FindIt menu tells you the holdings at each vendor’s site
• FindIt menu clicks you through to the different full text web sites
![Page 15: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MARCIt records
• for new titles (title not yet in the catalogue)
MARCIt records added
• for existing titles (title already in the catalogue)
MARCIt records will replace our current e-journal records
![Page 16: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Record replacement
to make life easier for our users:
1) part of the plan for the initial load has included an automated matching process so that we can suppress as many duplicate e-journal records as possible
warning: this will affect any saved links built on using Aleph system numbers (rare) *** most links will not be affected
2) after the initial load, we will clean-up to complete the reorientation of the catalogue from multiple e-journal records for a title to a single e-journal record
![Page 17: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Implementation Plan
2 phases Anticipated date
(1) initial load Feb 2006
(2) regular updating procedure Mar 2006 -
The period of clean-up will begin after the initial load and continue while we implement updating
procedures.

Effect of new workflow
updating process will overlay records limitations on changes made to MARCIt records
● new policy on record changes for MARCIt records
● efficiencies gained by using this service also means that we should not waste these efficiencies by doing duplicate or unnecessary work
![Page 19: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
More info about the records
• Most MARCIt records will look very similar to the e-journal records currently in the catalogue
• full bibliographic records, including variant titles and subjects
• MARCIt records use CONSER bibliographic records from the OCLC WorldCat database
• URL connects to full text using the FindIt (SFX) server
• difference: holdings & linking information is found through the FindIt button, not from Aleph records
![Page 20: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Current display
identifier for each holdings from publisher or vendor each publisher or
vendor
![Page 21: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
New display in the catalogue
MARCIt records are “aggregator neutral”
neutral: no identifier
for a particular vendor or publisher
![Page 22: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
New display in the catalogue
Holdings information comes from the SFX Knowledge Base (Find It)
no holdings info here
![Page 23: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How do I recognize a MARCIt record?
• not apparent in brief view
• in full view, url begins:http://mclink.library.mcgill.ca/sfx?...
• in full view, MARC format:• 035 |a (SFX)...• CAT field = MARCIT (for full records)
MARCITBR (for brief records)
• 856 field has url that begins: http://mclink.library.mcgill.ca/sfx?...
![Page 24: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Brief records
• when full records are not available, the MARCIt server sends a very brief record with:
Title
ISSN
URL which leads to the resource via the SFX server
- directly, if accessible from one source only
- using the FindIt menu, if accessible from multiple sources
![Page 25: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Brief record

Brief record – Full view
![Page 27: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Oddities
• some brief records have titles all in capital letters
• in a very few cases, there appear to be duplicate records, but each record has a different ISSN – it is FindIt’s way of dealing with related ISSNs
• automated matching may not have caught all instances of multiple e-journal records for the same title – let us know if you find some
![Page 28: MARCIt records for e-journals project to implement MARCIt service](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062807/568151e2550346895dc01ab2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Policy on record changes
• wherever possible, changes are made at the source: SFX Knowledge Base
e.g. incorrect url must be fixed in SFX
• duplicate records will be investigated
• errors in the title or ISSN will be investigated
if it is not “egregiously misleading”, we’ll live with it – but we will have more up-to-date e-journal
info in the catalogue!
