Elaine, did you mean to say traced series? The method from the presentation happens after all the various series fields are gathered together, so it would remove everything after a semicolon in any of those fields.

Is this something that can also be done for series added entries for traced serials -- 800, 810, 811, and 830? Elaine J.

So instead of one entry for the series, you get one entry per volume of the series. I just wanted to bring it up here in case anyone is searching for it in the future. I would be for this just being included in the default system, but I’m not a cataloger so I don’t know if this is generally applicable or not. The presentation was Metadata Abattoir by Mike Rylander https://evergreen-ils.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/eg16-Prime-cuts.pdf Our 490a data wasn’t all uniform, the space before the semicolon is missing in many cases, so I adjusted the regexp from “ ;.*” to “;.*” so more of our 490’s would get fixed without needing to modify the marc data. We also have a bunch of 490 entries that leave out the semicolon, so I either need to fix the marc for all of those, or find out how to not include the 490v in the first place. I need to learn much more about xpath and mods before I can figure that out though. (oh, looks like Mike explained how to do that back in 2012 - http://markmail.org/message/l7cfk7fcj2xmw27t - sweet!) A reingest is needed after the new normalizer is specified before you will see changes in the facet data. I used the following to only reingest the records that contained a semicolon in the series facet, limited to 9000 records in a batch. select metabib.reingest_metabib_field_entries(source) from metabib.facet_entry where field=1 and value ~ ';.*$' limit 9000; Thanks Josh Lake Agassiz Regional Library - Moorhead MN larl.org<http://larl.org> Josh Stompro | Office 218.233.3757 EXT-139<tel:218.233.3757%20EXT-139> LARL IT Director | Cell 218.790.2110<tel:218.790.2110>
