Data transfer between Discovery services and library catalogs: A case study at the University of the Fraser Valley

Abstract

This case study explores the challenges and successes that the University of the Fraser Valley had with bibliographic/holding data transfer and other customizations between their ILS (SirsiDynix Symphony) and EBSCO Discovery Service. Two sets of data transfer will be considered: the identification and transfer of deleted ILS MARC records to the EDS, and the inclusion of a dynamic location map from UFV’s library catalogue in the EDS layer. Technical details are included.
