Records filtered out of GreenGlass

The first three Remediation LIsts represent the items that have been filtered out of the analysis.

  1. Records without OCLC numbers
  2. Records with a title or author that does not match the corresponding WorldCat record
  3. Out-of-scope records

 Note: There is no overlap between these lists.

Records without OCLC numbers

This list contains records received from your library without OCLC numbers - and for which GreenGlass was unable to identify one.

Records with a title or author that does not match the corresponding WorldCat record

These records contain an OCLC number, but the local title and/or author appear not to match the WorldCat™ record with the same number.

Out-of-scope records

These records have reliable OCLC record numbers, but for a variety of reasons, they do not match the parameters of the project. Records for all out-of-scope items are found in this list. To learn why these items have been deemed out-of-scope, retrieve them by clicking on the hyperlinked tally to export and download the list.

Check the following columns in the exported list to find the reason(s) that a record was marked out-of-scope:

Column title Out-of-scope details
Location Code
  • The location code of the item was excluded from the analysis.
    • Location codes are found in Column A.
Primary Language
  • The primary language of the record falls outside the scope of specific languages of the project.
    • The Primary Language Code is found in Column L.
Bibliographic Record Type
  • The record type code of the record falls outside the scope of the project. This code comes from the MARC leader - byte 6.
Bibliographic Level
  • GreenGlass projects are focused on monographs, so some bibliographic levels are typically in scope while others are not. This code comes from the MARC leader - byte 7.
    • The Bibliographic Level is found in Column N.
GPO Number
  • The record contains a GPO item number (field 074 $a), and is assumed to be a Government Document. Government Documents often fall outside the scope of a particular project.
    • If the record contains the GPO Number, it will appear in Column O.
Government Document Number
  • The record contains a classification number assigned by a government agency (field 086 $a) and is assumed to be a Government Document. Government Documents often fall outside the scope of a particular project.
    • If the record contains the Government Document Number, it will appear in Column P.
Item Type Code
  • The record falls into a specific category of materials that is outside the scope of the project.
    • The Item Type Code appears in column BA.
Item Status Code
  • The record falls into a specific category of materials that is outside the scope of the project.
    • The Item Status Code appears in column BB.

When resources are filtered out of GreenGlass, you still have the opportunity to evaluate them with regard to subject, location, WorldCat holdings levels, local transactions, and HathiTrust status.
