[DCRM-L] Where do you save your files

[Auyong, Dorothy]

Hi Deborah,

 

We've been using the local save file too.  We set up them up on a
networked drive so supervisors could have access to them for revision,
etc. We chose the local save file since it doesn't have the expiration
date.

 

Our caveat is that we cannot save IRs.  Period. So basically if we're
adding an IR to a master record, all stages of cataloging until we do
the final revision and download it into our local system are out there,
searchable and usable by the public.  Makes me and my rare book
catalogers very edgy and we try to put a fairly finished product out
there before we finish with the record for the day, BUT <grrr>

 

We also discovered that if you want to download an IR which is not your
own (e.g. for an acquisitions level record), you must set your
Bibliographic Institution Record Level Export Validation level to
"none".

 

We may investigate applying for "enhance" status, but at the moment
we're sticking with contributing IRs.
