I don't think Evergreen mucks with the 001 field normally, but you could certainly setup a database trigger to modify or insert one as needed. > record or does Evergreen use a different MARC field for the TCN? Evergreen keeps an internal record id for each bib, which is exposed in the staff client in a few places as Record ID. It also tracks a TCN value and TCN source, but does this outside of the MARC record itself. There is a list of tags in the MARC that Evergreen will look at when deciding upon an external TCN value, but if that value becomes "auto-generated", it is not going to be inserted back into the MARC by default. When exporting records from Evergreen, the record id, TCN source, and TCN value is usually written to a 901 or 903 tag with various subfields, though I forget the specifics. > I am also looking for some quick tips on setting up VuFind as an alternative > OPAC for Evergreen if anyone is able to help. I don't think anyone has written a connector yet, but you could use the extras/fast_extract script for producing a periodic dump of bib records for VuFind to ingest. There are lots of API's that a connector could use for finding things like item status, etc. Someone just needs to do the work.
