Workflow Draft from MARC record service implementation

• Receive sample record set for non-EBSCO vendor or receive new package MARC from EBSCO monthly load
• Send either set to cataloging for review
  • For non-EBSCO forward MARC file. For EBSCO set, send the package ID and link to Blacklight search. These are sent to cataloging.
• Cataloging responds with feedback
• Feedback is sent to vendor if needed
• Feedback sent to automation if local changes are needed
• If records are not able to be improved by the vendor options are:
  • In case of vendor:
    • Sometimes better records are available for purchase
    • We may need to remediate ourselves as best we can
  • In case of EBSCO:
    • Look for better source of records, if available, ask EBSCO to acquire the records from that source (usually the vendor)
    • If better records are only available via OCLC, EBSCO cannot acquire them, therefore consider switching to OCLC collection manager for those records
    • If better records are available from the vendor but they won't give them to EBSCO, consider switching to loading from the vendor instead
• Cataloging, acquisitions, and automation should collaborate on finding the best balance of good description, accurate access, and efficient records management.
