Ian- If you have the matching rule set up to match on the 010 subfield a using the LC-cardnumber index, then the matching should happen if 1. your authority records are indexed 2. you have 010$a in your existing records AND in the incoming records (and matches do exist).
(I'm assuming here that you've also specified the incoming file is an authority file, not a bibliographic file. ) I'm not sure that using a 020 will assist you in matching as that is a bibliographic tag, not an authority tag. And I do not believe the 020 is indexed for authority records. A tag must be indexed in order to be used as a match point. When troubleshooting, I generally find a record I know should match and then look at the 010$a in the incoming file and existing record to see if there is anything that would potentially cause the match to fail. -Joy On Tue, Dec 22, 2015 at 9:22 AM, Christopher Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > Ian, > > Off the top of my head, I thought that you might want to tried adding > MARC authority field 020 (ISBN) as a match point to your matching > point rule?
