• What is the optimal combination of search values to ensure correct matches
• How best to override or correct incorrect matches

To search Discogs for matches we are currently using (title_resp,title,subtitle,pub_date,publisher,publisher_nbr,other_tile,author,single_author)

After consulting the MARC specification and catalogers, the 024 7# $a <discogs identifier> $2discogs will be used to override the dynamic search in the previously described matching. While this is the "textbook" way for capturing this information in MARC, as of 2020.09.28 our SOLR index does not include the $2 value in the other_identifier_display field. We either need to change how the 024 is handled in Solr, or parse the MARC in the marc_display field.
