2023 From: yukari.sugiyama at yale.edu (Sugiyama, Yukari) Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2023 17:33:23 +0000 Subject: [Yulcat-l] Updated Voyager Tag Tables Rolled Out Message-ID: Dear colleagues, The Voyager Cataloging tag tables will be updated at 7:30am on Wednesday, January 25, 2023. This update is part of the cleanup project sponsored by the ILS Metadata Advisory Group (MAGILS). The tag tables which Voyager consults to validate MARC records have been accepting a number of obsolete indicator, subfield, and field values for decades, allowing these obsolete coding in our catalog. We cleaned up most of them in the tag tables, while keeping some that would require further investigation and careful planning. 85 authority, bibliographic, and holdings MARC fields will be affected by this project. To reflect this update on bibliographic records, Shelby Anderson and Daniel Mugaburu kindly assisted us and cleaned up over 734,000 records that contained these obsolete data, contributing to the library's efforts toward a successful ILS migration (THANK YOU!). As usual, there is no action needed on your part - the update will install automatically when you connect to VPN if you are off-campus, or when you log into your PC if you are on-campus. If you experience any errors, please let Library IT know through the report a problem form. Thank you also to Dominique Bourassa, Cecilia Caride, Wheat Meier, and Daniel Mugaburu for testing the changes and to Cvetan Terziyski for running this rollout. Thanks, Yukari Yukari Sugiyama (she/her) Librarian for Discovery and Metadata Assessment Resource Discovery Services | Yale University Library -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
