[SOLAR-L] I killed Bambi, but he will arise tomorrow (Heads up for catalogers)

[Forest, Jon]

I cheeked this morning & the SOLAR transaction file has been reset by
the normal overnight backup (which is exactly what is supposed to
happen).  So everything should be fine again -- you can resume working
on records.

Apologies to anyone getting a transaction file is full you can't
add/edit a record message. I'm the culprit.  I spent this afternoon
fixing bib records that had the 856 field incorrectly coded as 856|3
instead of 856|z. There were a passel of them.  In hindsight, I should
have done this after supper, but the deed has been done.  Most of these
were resource records Karl loaded into the system. Making the change
means that the actual link for the URL shows in the OPAC instead of a
cryptic message. Having all of them changed also means you won't have to
remember to change them individually in the future.

  There are a couple other things to remember as catalogers when you use
a resource record.
1-remember to change REC in the bib location to your location. The
easiest way is to highlight REC and type in your location.
2-Remember to change the 0 in initials to - or the bib and your item
will never show in MaineCat.

Sorry for any inconvenience I caused.
Regards,
John Clark
