Editing in Evergreen Staff Client

For a primer on the fixed field and editing it in Evergreen please see section 19.2 "MARC Record Leader and MARC fixed field 008" in the Sitka Documentation

Booklist Builder Criteria

  • LibPress booklists rely on two groups of metadata to be populated: fixed field values in the 008 that feed into Evergreen's search filters as well as the date a bib record became active (changed status to Available) in a particular catalogue.
  • Often times one of more fixed field values will be incorrect or not filed (namely Audn) and will return no recent records, leading to empty lists.
Currently a bug is preventing space values for Form from being indexed in EG, these should be catalogued with r (print production) to ensure they are added to lists properly

Date Active

  • Date Active must occur within the last month to be included in the current month's lists.
  • For example, items with a Date Active timestamp that falls in August will appear in the New Items list for September.
  • Date Active is set when the Status of a record changes to Available for the first time.
