Data migration questionnaire
To begin the process, this questionnaire is used to obtain details about your bibliographic data, such as:
- How many records you plan to migrate
- If and where the OCLC control number is stored
- What bib data should be used to match your records with WorldCat records
- Whether your collection contains languages other than English
- How to handle local bibliographic data, such as local notes and such
Your OCLC project manager and bibliographic data analyst will liaise with you to finalise the questionnaire.
Scope statement and translation table
An OCLC data analyst will collaborate with you to produce the first draft of these documents. They record the mapping of:
- OLIB item and location data to Local Holdings Records (LHR)
- any OLIB bibliographic fields to the Local Bibliographic Record (LBD)
