De-Duplication at Load of GOBISelect records
Normal order record status = “o” [on order]
Loader de-duplicates using a Title Key match
If suspected duplicate order status = “1” [on hold]

OCLC PromptCat
OCLC product to streamline cataloging and/or pre-order searching
Cooperatively implemented by OCLC and library materials vendors
A completely automated process requiring up-front planning and, once running, little human intervention

MARC Record Selection
How Bibliographic Matches are made at PromptCat: Match is made in advance in a separate
process Based on ISBN or Publisher Number
(from 028) The vendor control number and OCLC
number are recorded in a matching database

PromptCat Data Records (PDRs)
Used to deliver vendor data when you do not receive a full record
Delivered when there is no match OR multiple matches in WorldCat, or there is a match but our holdings are up on it, or there is a match but it doesn’t fit our profile

PromptCat / III & Data Loading
III defines how we load records in batch
III requires item record and order record information to be in certain 9xx fields and subfields in order to “map” them to their proper places in item, order and invoice
May 2, 2005 IUG, San Francisco, California
Kent State University Libraries & Media Services
15
PromptCat / III & Data Loading
Some of the information used to build the item, order and invoice records is default data provided by the loader
Some of the information is imported at load Some of the information is imported at load
if available. In the absence of data the loader will provide default data
Some of the information is system generated at load

KSU’s Extended Approval Plan Interface
Unique in that we use one loader to: Create a brief bibliographic and order
record for direct orders made on GOBISmart Overlay brief bibs with PromptCat records
that load with associated item records and electronic invoice lines
Load PromptCat approval records with associated item records, order records and invoice lines - all loading in a single load

Extended Approval Plan Interface – Key Points
Interface de-duplicates on Title Key. A Title Key is a 7 character code that is
created from the Title or Series field of the record you create
The Title Key uses the first letter of each of the first seven words of the field

Kent State University Libraries & Media Services
21
Extended Approval Plan Interface (Continued)
Interface de-duplicates on Title Key (Continued)
When creating the Title Key, subtitles and series numbering are eliminated from the title key by stopping at colons ( : ), semicolons ( ; ) and space-slash ( / )
Only the first 49 alphabetic characters of the field are used in the creation of the Title Key
Ampersands ( & ) are treated as the word "and"

22
Extended Approval Plan Interface (Continued)
KSU’s Extended Approval Plan interface overlays on order record number (.o#)
We have also established settings for comparing the encoding level of the incoming record and the target record as another check
The creation of an item record is based on the presence of a 945 field

Millennium Implementation
March 2005 KSU decided to move loads into Millennium. Loading Approval Records from YBP
and OCLC PromptCat. Loading Firm Orders from YBP, and
then overlaying them with PromptCat bibliographic records.

Observations made during the transition between Telnet and Millennium Moving the load processes from telnet
to Millennium was relatively painless. Providing step by step documentation
with screen shots eased staff fear and anxiety.
The added functionality and ease sold the idea of moving to Millennium.
