The "push to OPAC" functionality, which allows you to open a bibliographic record in Orbis when you have it open in the cataloging client, has been fixed. This can be accessed by opening a bibliographic record, and from the top-bar menu selecting: record --> send record to --> Orbis OPAC. Please note that for this to work you'll have to use the ini file changer to get the newest version of the ini file. Just open the ini file changer, switch to "TOrbis - Train (Tech Services)" and then back to "Orbis - Production (Tech Services)." A big thank you to Pina Scalzo for reporting this issue, the volunteers who tested the new files, and to Cvetan Terziyski in LIT Endpoint Engineering for running the rollout. If you are still experiencing problems with this functionality then please restart your PC and then try the ini file change steps above. If it is still not working then please report the problem through the LIT report a problem form.

Description: A Shared Approach to BIBFRAME Implementation: SHARE-Virtual Discovery Environment This session will give an overview of the SVDE project and its history, along with the ongoing work of the Transformation Council. A particular focus will be on the development of BIBFRAME through SVDE in relation to other projects, such as initiatives at LC, LD4P, and the PCC. The SHARE Virtual Discovery Environment (SVDE) project, launched by Casalini Libri in 2017, is a community driven, vendor-supported initiative to establish an effective working environment for the use of linked data by libraries within a global context with the additional goal to ?future-proof? descriptive metadata. The vendor-partners, Casalini Libri and @Cult, have created complex processes which enriches and converts MARC library data to BIBFRAME. The converted data are then utilized in a virtual discovery environment based upon the three-layered structure of the BIBFRAME data model (www.share-vde.org). Enriched MARC data along with BIBFRAME triples are returned to each library for local analysis and experimentation. SVDE has a flexible approach to implementation through incremental change. This development continues to be guided by the 21 member libraries and community experts through the SVDE Transformation Council, and associated subcommittees. The SVDE Transformation Council began work in August 2018 to evaluate the MARC to BIBFRAME conversion from Phase II of the the project. The Transformation Council began by reviewing several reports that member libraries created in response to local data conversion review. We based our initial feedback on these documents to articulate how the conversion process meets our expectations and needs. Looking for commonalities among pain points lead us to develop methods to identify, test, and make recommendations for improvement of the conversion process. The first set of recommendations were ready for implementation in early 2019 and have been incorporated in the current conversion specifications, but work is ongoing to refine these specifications and continue improving processes. Learning outcomes ? History of the SHARE-VDE projects ? Analysis of MARC to BIBFRAME conversion, reconciliation, and enrichment in the SHARE-VDE community ? Update on current work Who should attend?

This was done to improve Aeon requesting functionality and user experience. The retrospective changes are now in place in production Orbis, with thanks to Yukari Sugiyama and ?va Bolkovac. AMDECO has determined that the changes were successful. AMDECO has also created guidelines for atypical cataloging situations, e.g. linking to non-Archives at Yale online finding aids. Those guidelines are now documented in the YUL Manuscript Cataloging Guidelines. With the completion of these enhanced guidelines and the implementation of the retrospective changes, this project is now complete. As a reminder, all newly-created archival and manuscript catalog records with 856 subfield 3 links to Archives at Yale finding aids should include the new text: View a description and listing of collection contents in the finding aid We?d very much appreciate your sharing this notification with any staff members who catalog archival or manuscript material. Please also be sure you and your colleagues have updated any archival or manuscript cataloging templates accordingly.

These changes are reflected in the YUL Manuscript Cataloging Guidelines. Essentially, we now ask archival and manuscript catalogers to include the following language in 856 subfield 3 for finding aids: View a description and listing of collection contents in the finding aid In an effort to improve Aeon requesting functionality and user experience, AMDECO plans to retrospectively update all type p, k, d, and f bib records with an 856 field linking to an Archives at Yale finding aid to include the revised language. We anticipate making these retrospective updates in Voyager the week of April 22. Please be aware that these changes are going into production that week and that, as of January, all newly-created archival and manuscript catalog records with 856 subfield 3 links to finding aids should include the new text: View a description and listing of collection contents in the finding aid We?d very much appreciate your sharing this notification regarding these changes with any staff members who catalog archival or manuscript material.
