Full text of review request
Publisher supplied in ingested file is different to any already present on TI. Added new publisher name as a publisher on title.
Description
This review task is generated if the publisher provided by an OpenRefine ingest is different from any of the publishers already present on a title record in GOKb. You will need to review the title record, determine if the added publisher is legitimate, and update the appropriate metadata on the title record.
Solution
- From the review request screen, navigate to the title record.
- Investigate the title to verify that both the new and existing publishers are or were legitimate publishers of the title.
- Sources you may wish to use include:
- The publisher's website
- Ulrich's
- ISSN Portal
- OCLC
- Be sure to check that the publisher is in fact a publisher and not an imprint.
If the new publisher was added in error
- On the publishers tab, set the combo status to deleted for the incorrect publisher.
- Close the review request
If the new publisher is correct
- Populate the Publisher From and To fields for the new and/or old publishers.
- Sometimes, it can be difficult to determine all of the publication dates, so only include the dates those you can confirm. Note: it is most important to assign an end date to the old publisher and a start date to the new publisher – this will cause the "current publisher" field to be populated correctly.
