Creating a new ISNI record in WinIBW

Creating a new record using an existing record

  • Call up a record in the client. It must be the same type (person or organization) as you want to create.
  • Right click in the record.
  • Select Copy to New Window.
  • Right click in the record again.
  • Select Tile Windows Vertically. There will now be two copies of the same record.
  • Click Insert at the bottom of one of the records. This creates a blank window labeled "New record."
  • Copy the following fields from the displayed record to the blank window: 002, 003
  • Add field 035 with your source code, e.g. 035 $l PCC (the subfield is a lower-case L)
  • Add field 700 or 710 with the name by which the person or organization is known. Include subfield $2 with your source code, e.g. 700 1 $a Smith, John Q. $2 PCC
  • Add other fields as necessary, including subfield $2 on each one.
  • Click Enter. If an index entry with a PPN appears, double click on it to see the new record.

Creating a new record from scratch

  • If no record is displayed on the screen, enter the Insert command on the command line. It can be abbreviated 'ins'
  • If a record is displayed, click on the Insert command box at the bottom of the screen.
  • A blank window labeled "New record" will be displayed.
  • Copy one of the following templates into the window.

Persons

002 $aTpx
008 $an$b|$c|$da$e|$fz$gn$hn$ia$j|$kb$ln$m|$nn$oa$pa$qa$r|$s|
035 $lPCC
700 1 $a[Last name, First name]$2PCC
910 $a[Title]$2PCC
671 $gr$u[URL]$2PCC

Organizations

002 $aTbx
008 $an$b|$c|$da$e|$fz$gn$hn$ia$j|$kb$ln$m|$nn$oa$pa$qa$r|$s|
035 $lPCC
710 2 $a[Corporate body name]$2PCC
910 $a[Title]$2PCC
671 $gr$u[URL]$2PCC

Notes

  • The minimum required fields are 002, 008, 035, and either 700 or 710.
  • ISNI does not read the values in field 008, so it doesn't matter if the field is copied from another record that doesn't exactly match this template.
  • ISNI ignores indicators in 4XX and 7XX fields, so it doesn't matter if they are included.
  • Adjust the source codes to the code that matches your login, if necessary.
  • ISNI inserts the symbol '@' before the first word to be filed on in field 910, i.e. it skips over initial articles. This symbol should not be inserted manually.
  • The subfield delimiter is '$' as found on the keyboard.
  • Code "r" in 671 $g indicates that the information has been reviewed. This is the default for PCC contributions. The field is not required.

Merging records

Merging records when one already has 77A

  • Retrieve the record with the 77A field. If it has '$b P', that indicates a possible merge.
  • Enter '\dup' on the command line. The record will be displayed in edit mode beside the record with a PPN indicated by 77A $9.
  • If the records should be merged, click the Equal button. Otherwise, click Unequal or Unknown, as appropriate.

Merging records when none has 77A

  • Retrieve the record that has a duplicate.
  • Right click in the record.
  • Select Copy to New Window.
  • Retrieve the other record that is a duplicate. This can be done by clicking the blue back arrow on the toolbar (or Ctrl+B) to return to the search history or by doing a new search.
  • When the other record is found, right click in the record.
  • Select Tile Windows Vertically.
  • Click the Update button under one of the records to enter edit mode. It doesn't matter which one.
  • Add field 77A to the record
    • Person: 77A $aISNI#PERSON$bM$9[PPN of other record]
    • Organization: 77A $aISNI#ORG$bM$9[PPN of other record]
  • Copy the PPN from field 000 of the other record.
  • Click Enter to save the record.

Notes

  • For more details, see section 4.1 of the WinIBW manual.
  • Merges are processed twice a day by the system.
  • It is possible to have more than one 77A in a record to merge multiple records.

Upgrading an ISNI record to assigned status in WinIBW

  • Find the record to be upgraded.
  • Click on the Update button.
  • In field 003, delete '$aprovisional$bno match initial database'
  • Insert '$aassigned'
  • Leave subfield $c in the record.
  • Click on the Enter button.
