863 Becomes 853 X The ALEPH 863 field is now called the 853 X field. The ALEPH 863 field differed significantly from its USMARC namesake; therefore it was given a new name to avoid confusion. 16 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Increasing Number of Levels of Enumeration/Chronology 17 • Primary levels of enumeration have been increased from 4 to 6; secondary (alternative) levels of enumeration have been increased from 1 to 2; levels of chronology have been increased from 3 to 4. • The structure of z 30/z 17/z 103 was changed accordingly. • ALEPH now supports all MARC 21 levels of enumeration and chronology. Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Increasing Number of Levels of Enumeration/Chronology All levels of enumeration and chronology are copied from the z 17 (issue) to the z 30 (item) when the z 30 (item) is created (during serials check-in, for example). 18 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Multiple 853 Fields Change #3: It is now possible to have multiple 853 fields in the ALEPH ADM record to record multiple publication patterns. Sub-field 8 in the 853 field tells the system when to begin the new publication pattern. 19 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Multiple 853 Fields Let's look at an example of a monthly publication that begins with Vol. 1, no. 1 (1999: Jan. ) and becomes a quarterly beginning with Vol. 2, issue 1 (2000: Jan. ). 20 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Multiple 853 Fields The 853 and 853 X fields for the first publication pattern (monthly) will be: 853 $a Vol. $b no. $u 12 $v r $i ((year): $j (month)) $w m 853 X $a 1 $b 1 $i 1999 $j 1 $3 19990101 21 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Multiple 853 Fields After the first cycle has been opened, the system will increment $a, $i, and $3 in the 853 X field as follows: 853 $a Vol. $b no. $u 12 $v r $i ((year): $j (month)) $w m 853 X $a 2 $b 1 $i 2000 $j 1 $3 20000101 22 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Multiple 853 Fields A second 853 field can now be added to the ADM record for the second publication pattern (quarterly): 853 $a Vol. $b no. $u 12 $v r $i ((year): $j (month)) $w m 853 X $a 2 $b 1 $i 2000 $j 1 $3 20000101 853 $a Vol. $b issue $u 4 $v r $i ((year): $j (month)) $w q $8 2 23 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Multiple 853 Fields Note the $8 in the second 853 field, which tells the system that the second pattern begins with Vol. 2. 853 $a Vol. $b no. $u 12 $v r $i ((year): $j (month)) $w m 853 X $a 2 $b 1 $i 2000 $j 1 $3 20000101 853 $a Vol. $b issue $u 4 $v r $i ((year): $j (month)) $w q $8 2 24 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Multiple 853 Fields Also note that certain changes in the publication pattern will require modifications to the 853 X field: 853 $a Vol. $b no. $u 12 $v r $i ((year): $j (month)) $w m 853 X $a 2 $b 1 $i 2000 $j 24 $3 20000101 853 $a Vol. $b issue $u 4 $v r $i ((year): $j (season)) $w q $8 2 25 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

SICI Check-in I It is possible to use the issue’s SICI barcode during ‘Fast Check-in’. SICI replaces the SIID code. SICI is available as one of the Search keywords to be scanned in when you try to find the correct issue to check in. 14. 2 26 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

SICI Check-in II The system will try to match the scanned SICI barcode with data in the Issue records (Z 17): ISSN Chronology Enumeration 14. 2 27 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

SICI Check-in III If there is a match, check-in will be performed. When there is more than one subscription, a window will open listing all items expected for this issue. 14. 2 28 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Call Number Filing A new table, tab_filing_call_no, is used for defining filing procedures for item call numbers. The table is used when building the filing key for item records (Z 30 -CALLNO-KEY and Z 30 -CALL-NO-2 -KEY). 42 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Call Number Filing tab_filing_call_no - structure 43 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2

Filing Call Numbers - Usage • Shelf Reading Report (b-item-04) Inventory check - Based on a shelf range of items, compares an input file of barcode numbers to the same range of items in the system and generates a report of all items which are missing, misshelved or loaned. • Shelf List (b-item-05) Shelf list - Based on a shelf range of items, checks the library's holdings and circulation files and creates a report of all items which should be in the shelf range. Both services update the new field Z 30 -LAST-SHELF-REPORT-DATE (the batch run date) 47 Serials Upgrade 12. 3 – 14. 2
