Formatting Copy-Specific Metadata

Adding Copy-Specific Metadata in Alma

Copy-specific information can be included in the following fields. Some of these fields may need to be configured for display and/or search in some instances of Primo VE.

Copy-specific metadata in bibliographic records:

099 - Local call number

Example:


246 - Varying Form of Title

Include $$g or $$i with organization name for Primo VE display.  Include $$5 with MARC organization code.

Examples:


500, 501, 506, 526, 540, 541, 561, 562, 563, 583, 584, 585 - Notes

Include $$3 with organization name and, if necessary, copy information for Primo VE display.  Include $$5 with MARC organization code.

Examples:


59X - Notes

Include organization name in $$a or $$3 for Primo VE display.

Example:


655 - Index Term--Genre/Form

Include $$3 with organization name and, if necessary, copy information for Primo VE display. Include $$5 with MARC organization code.

Examples:

Examples: 


9xx - These may be locally/consortially defined and customized for Primo VE display and keyword searching. If the fields are intended for public display/access the institution and copy to which the field refers should be specified in a human readable way appropriate to the field (usually $$3 or $$g). $5 is optional but likely helpful for future compatibility. If the fields are not intended for public display/access they should be in the IZ only.”
