Load This!: Loading YBP Approval, GobiSelect,
and PromptCat Records into INNOPAC
IUG 2000 Philadelphia, PA
Trials and Tribulations
- More time than expected was spent implementing PromptCat. Initially III had our system set up to
load YBP Approval Records (shipping records) and PromptCat through the same loader. Changes
made to the loader in order to facilitate loading YBP Approval records adversely effected the
loading of PromptCat records and vice versa. Eventually, a second loader was installed.
- In the beginning, complete fund codes were not being entered when
selecting titles in GOBI. This caused problems when loading records into the system. YBP was
able to set up a fund code validation script. UL provided YBP with a list of valid fund codes. Fund
codes entered are compared to this list. Invalid, incomplete, or incorrect fund codes are not accepted.
- Some time was spent exploring INNOPAC duplicate checking options (full title, title key, and
title/ISBN. Although none of the options are ideal, UL opted for full title duplicate
checking.
