[Eril-l] WMS Collection Manager knowledge base for EBSCO and ebrary Academic Complete ebooks

[Harper, Cynthia]

On question 2, I see that the ebrary URL is just missing the identifier for my library after /lib/.  So I guess I can correct that too.  So I guess I can live with this. I'll just have to delete duplicate fields after I load, if I'm merging from my ebrary load and my EBSCo load.  Or should I set up my new record reports to include records from both the ebrary and the 2 EBSCO sets, and load just once?

I successfully loaded ebook records from WMS Collection Manager in May, but when I just tried to load the file from 6/25/2016, I see

1)      Even though I just want to do an EBSCO load, my records have URLs in them for both EBSCO and ebrary;

2)      I see ebrary URLs that look like this:
856        4              0              |uhttp://0-site.ebrary.com.librarycatalog.vts.edu/lib//Top?id=2001014@

On question1, I guess I'll have to do a MARCEdit step to delet all 856s except those for ebscohost.com.  I think that sucks, they should know that I only want the URL for the collection in question.  I'm merging my URLs in my own processing.

On question 2, is this OCLC's mess-up of what a III WAM URL should be?  Or is that  ebrary's problem???


Anyone else seeing these problems?
