Sure!  Here's how we check the 856 fields:

We put the resulting records from the load into a review file in Create Lists (call this Review File A).

We examine some of the records to identify some bit of text unique to the URLs for this vendor.

We prepare a Global Update of Review File A, changing the 856 fields that match that unique text into 956 fields.  But before we execute the update, we carefully examine the Preview of the update.  This will show us those records that don't have a URL for this vendor, or have multiple URLs for this vendor.

For those missing a URL for this vendor, we go to the vendor's site to find the correct URL to add to the record.  For those with multiple URLs, we determine whether to delete any.

Once the records are fixed, we redo the Preview and finish the Global Update, changing the matching URLs to 956 fields, making sure every record gets at least one 956 field.

We can use Global Update on Review File A to change the |3 and |z of the 956 fields to the text we want, and add our proxy (if we haven't already done it in pre-load preparation).

Then we deal with the 856 fields for other vendors.  Prepare a Global Update on Review File A to change all remaining 856 fields to 956 fields.  Before executing the update, examine the Preview.  If you see any 856 fields you want to delete rather than keep, uncheck the box for that record.  Execute the Global Update.  Do another Global Update to delete all remaining 856 fields.

(Alternatively, you could do a Global Update to delete the 856 fields, and uncheck the boxes for the ones you want to keep.  In either case, if you aren't sure whether to keep or delete the URL, check the bib record itself, looking for 910 fields.)

Do one final Global Update to change the 956 fields to 856 fields.


This is unfortunately a lot of Global Updates, and I'm currently examining how to reduce the number of Millennium transactions for post-load editing.  This will probably mean moving more of the editing to the preparation stage (using MarcEdit), but at least some of the 856 checking has to happen in Millennium, after overlaying.
