<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">We recently migrated to Alma and the display of local collection names has become a problem for us (it was a problem back when we were using Sierra, but now it is to the point that we need to figure out a way
to solve the problem or at least improve).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">So we coded all of our local collection names in 710 field and it is now displayed under Creator in Primo. I’m think we can probably move the collection name to a 9xx field and create an index for local collection?
Meanwhile I know Alma has a built-in function for creating local collections. <u></u>
<u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">I wonder if anyone would like to share how they treat their local collection names? Do you use a separate field for it or include it as a note? Or do you use the Alma built-in function and not adding the collection
name in the bib record at all? <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
