Recommendation for the Display of Regional Library Facilities (RLF) Materials in WorldCat Local

Revised 5/16/11

RecommendationThe Implementation Team recommends the following option for display of the Northern and Southern

Regional Libraries Facilities (NRLF and SRLF) in the WorldCat Local (WCL):

Continue to display RLF materials as they are currently configured in WCL.

o NRLF holdings for northern campuses currently do not look the same as the SRLF holdings

because UCB is not yet fully current with its reclamations.

o Once UCB completes its reclamation process and sets the ZAP symbols, the displays for SRLF

and NRLF will be consistent as new items are placed in the RLFs.

We recommend having multiple symbols on a title that has been deposited in an RLF, given there is

a difference between who owns a volume and where it is physically located. This allows us to route

ILL traffic in the manner we want by setting deflection on one of the symbols. This method is also

beneficial if we want tools like WorldCat Collection Analysis to help show overlaps in collections, e.g.

“How many things of ours do we have in remote storage?”

Current Display

Current Display for SRLF

SRLF holdings currently appear in Level 1 for the owning campus AND in Level 1 for UCLA (since the SRLF

is listed under UCLA and this is the holding location). For all other campuses, the holdings appear in

Level 2.

SRLF holdings appear this way:

(1) Level 1 in the UCSB instance (for the owning campus) [Image below]

(2) Level 1 in the UCLA instance (for SRLF) [Image below]

Current Display for NRLF

NRLF holdings currently appear in Level 1 for the owning campus and appear in Level 2 for the other UC

Libraries. (This is because the UCB NRLF ZAP symbols have not yet been attached in the reclamation

process).

NRLF holdings currently appear this way:

Level 1 in the UCD instance (for the owning campus) [Image below]

Future Display

Once Berkeley is fully current with reclamation, NRLF holdings should display the same way they do for

SRLF: in Level 1 for the owning campus AND in Level 1 for UCB (since the NRLF is listed under UCB and

this is the holding location). For all other campuses, the holdings appear in Level 2.

NRLF holdings will appear this way:

Level 1 in the UCSC instance (for the owning campus) [Image below]
