PST Record Load Statistics

WEEKLY RECORD LOADS TO ORBIS:

MARS ExportQ
Each week we export from Orbis all the records marked for MARS processing in ExportQ. MARS corrects the headings in these records and the following week returns them to us along with a file of relevant new authority records. We usually load these bibliographic and authority records on Wednesday or Thursday.

EOD/EDI
On a weekly basis, usually on Mondays and Tuesdays, Acquisitions sends us e-mail notifications and MARC record files for titles received on our approval plans with five different vendors. We load these files to create bibliographic, holdings, and purchase order records. The above link contains a table showing the monthly totals of records that we process from our vendors.

GPO Shipping List
On a weekly basis, usually on Thursdays, MARCIVE sends us a file of GPO Shipping List records. We load these into our database as suppressed bibliographic and holdings records. After government documents staff receives the items, they unsuppress the bibliographic and holdings records and add items records.

MONTHLY RECORD LOADS TO ORBIS:

Each month, usually around the 15^th, MARS sends us name, subject, and series authority records that have changed. We load these updated records to our database overlaying the obsolete records.

LCRESOURCE FILES TO LCDB:

On a weekly basis, usually Mondays or Tuesdays, we update our local Library of Congress database (LCDB) with bibliographic records of books, serials, and non-books, along with name and subject authority records.

ELECTRONIC RESOURCES:

Periodically, we load bibliographic and authority records for electronic resources, such as Serial Solutions and Ebrary. As determined by the Cataloging department, some of these files of MARC bibliographic records are sent first to MARS for authority control processing.
