Select one of the following options:<br />

Replace current record – Designates the incoming record to<br />

replace the last record viewed at the workstation.<br />

Match and load – Allows <strong>SirsiDynix</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong> to search for a<br />

matching record based on the match points options explained<br />

below. If the system finds a match, it will overlay the existing<br />

record. If the system does not find a match, it will create a new<br />

title record.<br />

If you have decided to Match and Load your record, move on to select<br />

one of the following options:<br />

Match on Title Control Number matches only on the options listed<br />

in the Title Control Number Source field.<br />

Match on Title Control Number or Indexed MARC Tag considers<br />

the incoming record a match if the title control number of a library<br />

catalog record matches one of the specified Title Control Number<br />

Source fields in the imported record, or if one of the standard<br />

matching numbers from the incoming record as listed in the<br />

Indexed MARC Tag Number field finds a match in an existing<br />

<strong>SirsiDynix</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong> database index.<br />

Match on Title Control Number and Indexed MARC Tag<br />

considers the incoming record a match if the title control number<br />

of a library catalog record matches one of the specified Title<br />

Control Number Source fields in the imported record, and if at<br />

least one of the standard matching numbers from the incoming<br />

record as listed in the Indexed MARC Tag Number field finds a<br />

match in an existing <strong>SirsiDynix</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong> database index.<br />

Title Control Number Source<br />

The Title control number source field indicates the values used to specify<br />

the entries in the MARC record that should be checked for a match in the<br />

catalog when using the Match and load option.<br />

Use the gadget to select source options in order of preference. A sequence<br />

of letters representing each option is then recorded. <strong>SirsiDynix</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong><br />

uses these letter values to search for a potential match within the title<br />

control numbers of existing records. If you are an OCLC library, for<br />

example, the OCLC number is probably the primary match point for title<br />

records. Other libraries might use an LCCN if definitive, but an ISBN if<br />

the other value is not present. The values in this field are letter codes that<br />

refer to specific MARC entries.<br />
