June 2011: downloaded full file of records from RAND; extracted ISBNs, Beth matched against Aleph; received lists of matches with RAND url, matches without url, multimatches, and non-matches. Sent Beth list of Aleph system numbers and URLs to piggyback directly into Aleph (no NET holdings); used Z39.50/MarcEdit for non-matches. Beth loaded file of 560 MARC records; about 300 remaining with no OCLC records found - need original/derived records. |
