Summon update

Serials Solutions have finally knowledged that there was a problem with loading our catalogue records that has not happened at any other site. They are currently investigating why it happened, once this is determined they can work out how to fix it. This is affecting the 245$b, subject headings, date sorting, and stop words causing problems.

The updating of records is meant to start next week now.

The best way to search for catalogue records in Summon at the moment is to remove possible stop words and to use the “book” content type. eg “treaty waitangi” works a lot better than “treaty of waitangi”.

Cheers, Anne

  1. Thanks Alison – this typo is across Summon sites worldwide, so you’ve noticed something that nobody else has 🙂

    It’s been reported to SerialsSolutions.

    Thanks,
    Donna

  2. It looks like Serials Solutions have fixed a lot of the problems we’ve reported. Our catalogue records look like they have been updated (not sure how up to date, but an improvement on the original load), and LCSH and subtitles are being indexed.
