[opal_migration_leads] boundwith clarification

[Marshall, Lauren]

Hi all --

Listening to last week's OPAL meeting, I think I can offer some
clarification on "boundwith" records.


The migration process creates a "virtual" bib record to "hold" the
individual bibs. The virtual item is represented by the barcode. Every
"work" bound together still has its own full bib record that is tied to the
virtual "boundwith" record - sort of like a mobile with several items tied
to a single hanger or something like that, lol! Or maybe like the virtual
record is the barcoded "cover" of the book holding the individual works
together. Hope this helps clarify, but it's an attempt... so these really
shouldn't need cleanup unless they somehow didn't migrate properly (ours
did).


You can search Alma physical titles for "boundwith" to find these virtual
records, then click the "other details" tab, and click on the "related
records" link to see the associated bibs to check whether they came over
properly.


Cheers, lauren
