The following optional non-library-specific retrospective projects are opportunities for cleaning up the database and thereby improving the quality & reliability of user access, if you have the available time and manpower to do so.
Ask the Database Manager if you need help compiling a list of records that need editing or want to know more about what a particular project involves.
- Add 347 fields to Blu-ray+DVD, DVD+CD, etc. combo pack records
- Add 257 field to video records for country of production
- Change tagging of genres from 650 to 655
- Add newly created genre terms & subject headings to applicable older records
- Delete "duplicate" 007 fields
- Delete "duplicate" 505 fields
- Add 753 and possibly also 347 fields to PC games & other software
- Fix invalid GMDs & GMD qualifiers (so that they can be more easily used for record analysis now and more easily deleted when that time comes)
- Add subject & genre headings to older records that currently have none at all
- Check old "MacroFix" records against the actual item and what's in WorldCat to make sure the correct OCLC number & description were used, and clean up the record accordingly
- Overlay any remaining records affected by the Smartport/006 bug
- Change fictitious character headings from 650 to 600
- Fix typos in ISBNs & ISSNs, or move them to 020 |z
