- If the book in hand already has a record in Scotty (a record that Acquisitions has exported from OCLC) you will need to make sure you overlay the OCLC record and use the “vie” load table.
- Therefore, change your 949 to “*recs=vie;b3=o;” this will invoke the “vie” load table and the diacritics will display properly in Scotty. (You may want to create a macro for the “vie 949” if you will be cataloging a lot of Vietnamese items.)
- “Verify headings” of the bib record in Scotty. Then “Control all headings” in the OCLC record. Compare headings that we already have in Scotty to the ones available in OCLC.
- Bring over all headings that we do not already have. When bringing over Vietnamese authority records make sure to add a 949 before exporting. Authority records will need to go through a load table as well. Therefore, add a 949 in the authority and use the appropriate codes below before exporting.
Standard authority records:
*atab=avie;
Name Authority records:
*atab=anamvie;
Subject Authority records:
*atab=asubvie;
- Update holdings in OCLC. (ask supervisor if unsure how to do this)
- Verify that the diacritics in the bib and authorities have come over correctly.
- Finish cataloging the item.
- Finally, remove the “o” from the suppress field in the bib record and replace it with a hyphen. We do not want any Vietnamese language records going to Marcive.
Checklist:
- Use load tables
- Check to see if authorities are needed
- Update holdings
- Remove “o”
