Loading Records Using<br />

Reports<br />

In this section, you will learn to:<br />

Import bibliographic data onto the <strong>SirsiDynix</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong> server.<br />

Run the Load Bibliographic Records report to add titles to the<br />

catalog.<br />

Records can also be batch loaded into your <strong>SirsiDynix</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong> catalog<br />

using a two-step process. The first step is to use MARC Import, which<br />

copies a file of records to the <strong>SirsiDynix</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong> server. The second<br />

step is to run the Load Bibliographic Records (Bibload) report, which<br />

adds those titles to the catalog. Depending on your selection when<br />

scheduling this report, <strong>SirsiDynix</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong> can use holdings<br />

information in the bibliographic record to create copy-level records,<br />

create copies for new titles based on a default Holding Code, or ignore<br />

item-level records altogether.<br />

The following discussion describes a common scenario. It walks you<br />

through copying a file of records from local or network drives to the<br />

proper directory on the <strong>SirsiDynix</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong> server. The second phase<br />

of the example outlines the options for setting up the report to load those<br />

bibliographic records.<br />

For other alternatives to loading records in batch, see ―Appendix B –<br />

Load Bibliographic Records Report.‖<br />

Importing Records with MARC Import<br />

Use the MARC Import wizard to import files of bibliographic or authority<br />

records from a local or a network drive. Once imported, files can be<br />

listed, viewed, or removed.<br />

Authority and bibliographic records can be in the same file—the MARC<br />

Import wizard separates the bibliographic and authority records into<br />

individual files to be processed separately with the appropriate reports.<br />

As part of the import process, <strong>SirsiDynix</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong> first creates a file for<br />

bibliographic records in the /Unicorn/Marcimport directory on the<br />

server and writes any bibliographic records to this file. A file is also<br />

created in /Unicorn/Marcimport/Authtemp on the server, and any<br />

authority records are written to this file.<br />
