Mapping profiles

Using CUL's statistical codes

Statistical codes replace, in part, some of the data we used to record in a 948. When you are building an import profile, consider the data batch processing used to rely on most frequently: source of acquisition, special format, date, and file name.

We are not required to use the

Programmatic use of the 948

Use of the 948 is no longer required for catalogers, they are using the transaction stats note in the holdings record. However, some the 948 remains in use for some batch processes and can be added to files as needed. If you add a 948, please continue to use the tag as defined in the confluence page "local tags". It is not recommended that you create 948s using dynamic data with the data import module. In other words, if you want to record the date and file name of what you are importing, add that data with MARC Edit prior to importing the file, don't use a data import mapping profile to add it. If you want to add a new 948 to carry static special format and vendor information with data import, that is okay, but given other mappings in the profile should be unnecessary.
