Implementing serials predictive check-in

Abstract

Predictive check-in has arrived. From the December 2014 update, Alma started introducing new features to enable predictive check-in to be set up. The University of Auckland had recently migrated to Alma from Voyager and was keen to start using predictive check-in again. I will take you thorugh the process of how the University of Auckland went about setting up predictive check-in. The session will cover how we used normalization rules to remove our existing 866 field in the holdings record; created the 863 field from our existing item records; and then use the 863 field to recreate our 866 fields. I will also look at how we added the 853 fields for the predictive pattern. I will discuss the issues we faced and how we overcome them.
