Importing Order Data
Order data must conform to the Library of Congress' MARC21 Standards.
MARC Format
For a comprehensive overview of the MARC Communications Format, please consult MARC21 Standards, published by the Library of Congress.
For more information about how MARC data is stored in the Innovative database, see MARC Records.
You can view the order data. After loading, order data is stored in the format used by your Innovative database.
Each order record must have its own MARC record. It might be necessary to duplicate bibliographic data in multiple MARC records when there are two or more orders for a single title. The bibliographic portion of the record may be brief, but must include a unique identifier (also referred to as the match point, e.g. old system control number) and title information in a 245 field (MARC 21) or a 200 field (CMARC or UNIMARC). A maximum of 200 order records can be linked to one bibliographic record in the database.
The 960 field is mandatory for creating an order record. Order information must be provided in 960 and 961 fields as specified in the tables below. The 960 and 961 fields contain multiple subfields, and each subfield represents a different field in the Innovative order record. It is not necessary for each order record to contain all of the 960 and 961 subfields defined below.
For funds to be encumbered post-load, an order record must contain a STATUS of 'o' (ON ORDER) or 'c' (SER ON ORDER) in the 960 |m field, the number of copies (960 |o), an estimated price (960 |s) and a valid fund code (960 |u). If the estimated price (960 |s) is not in your local currency, the non-local currency code must be included (960 |z) in the order record.
