Scope of data published
We report to Copac our print and electronic journal holdings. Note that in the University of York, print and electronic holdings are always attached to separate bibliographic records, though the publishing process can manage shared print/electronic bibliographic records.
Set
Physical Titles where All titles (Tag Suppressed equals “No”) and Holding (Library equals “Borthwick Institute” or Library equals “Key Texts Collection” or Library equals “King’s Manor Key Texts Collection” or Library equals “National Railway Museum” or Library equals “University Library” or Library equals “University Library – Special Collections” or Library equals “York Minster Library” or Library equals “King’s Manor”)
The set we use for electronic, Copac publishing electronic, has the following conditions:
Electronic Titles where All titles (Tag Suppressed equals “No”)
Normalization Rule
Copac require the LDR position 9 (Character encoding scheme) of all records to be populated with ‘a’ (for UCS/Unicode). In a large number of our records that flag is blank. As a result the following normalization rule, LDR field position 9 replace with a, is run as part of the publishing process:
rule "change LDR pos 9 to a"
when
(not existsControl "LDR.{9,1}.a")
then
replaceControlContents "LDR.{9,1}" with "a"
