Making the Most of Your MARC Record
Channel: Evergreen Library System
Date: 2020-06-29

The MARC21 standard specifies many rules for things like valid indicator and fixed field values. Evergreen doesn't pay attention to ALL of the rules... but when it does, it's important to know how and why. This presentation will provide an overview of how indicators, fixed fields, and controlled-vocabulary fields in MARC records drive functionality and display, including: record attributes, content from added content vendors, located URIs, indexing, and more! By the end of the presentation, attendees will know how to make the most of their MARC records in Evergreen by adjusting configuration options. Attendees will also learn where MARC data cleanup projects can have particularly high impact for system functionality.
