New features and enhancements

Add a shared print commitment in an LHR in Record Manager

You can now manually add a shared print commitment in the LHR editor for local holdings records that you are committing to retain. Previously shared print commitments could only be added through data sync in WorldShare Collection Manager.

If you want to add a shared print commitment, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to Record Manager.
  2. Navigate to the local holding record you would like to add the shared print commitment or derive a local holdings record if one does not exist yet.
  3. Within the LHR, select Record > Shared Print Commitment > Add: a 583 field is added in the LHR. 
  4. Make changes to the 583 field as needed if updating your retention commitment.
    • 583 $f Archiving Program Name (required)
    • 583 $c Start date of your retention commitment (required)
    • 583 $d Expiration date of your retention commitment (required)
    • 583 $j Site of Action (optional)
    • 583 $u URL to Documentation for Archiving Program (optional)
    • 583 $z Public note (optional)
    • 583 $5 Archiving Institution (optional)
  5. Click Save after you complete modifications to the LHR. (The 852 $h and $i and 876 fields can be removed if not applicable)

Display of field 066 in a bibliographic record

Field 066 is now being displayed in bibliographic records in case the record contains data in non-Latin script. Previously, the 066 field did not display in bibliographic records. You can now make cataloging edits based on what value displays in the 066 field.

Workflow status "In Review" added to the list of statuses for Bibliographic Records / Saved - In Progress

You can now add the workflow status "In Review" to a record in the Bibliographic Records Saved - In Progress file. This status is also available for the Authority Saved - In Progress file and adding it to the Bibliographic Saved - In Progress file now provides a consistent user experience.

Enhancements to search results and Details pages

Edition statement (MARC tag 250) in search results and Details page 

You can now see the edition statement, taken from MARC tag 250 on search results lists, the Details page, and the bibliographic information in the blue info icon. This helps you to identify the record you're looking for easily.

Bug fixes

Field 876 $d no longer is deleted when editing the Temporary Shelving Location in text-view

Now field 876 $d will remain in the LHR when you edit and replace the Temporary Shelving Location in text-view. Previously, the 876 $d field was deleted when the Temporary Shelving Location was updated in text-view.

Options for transferring LHRs are now available in all supported languages

You will now see the options in the dropdown list when transferring LHRs to a new bibliographic record and working in the French user interface (or any other language). Previously, these texts were displayed in the English interface only.

Applying an author facet no longer returns zero results

You can now apply author facets containing special characters and they will return appropriate results. Previously, when applying an author facet that contained specific characters such as a period or an ampersand in some cases no results were found.
