The latest from NHAIS Notes...

Our example record from last week also includes a URI entered in a subfield $1 
When you searched on the URI in the subfield $0, you were brought to an authority record for the name “Colin Murphy.” When you search on the URI found in the subfield $1, on the other hand, you’re brought to a description of the person behind this name:
Murphy, Colin (Journalist)
- URI(s)
- Is Identified By Authority
o
Associated
Locale: Ireland
Field Of Activity
- Instance Of
- Alternate Formats
Some of the fields found in this record are the same as those found in his authority record (such as “Occupation”). However, notice that the “Sources” listed in the authority record from the last post (which appear in 670 fields in the traditional authority record) don’t appear. The sources consulted by a cataloger to establish the authorized form of Colin Murphy’s name are important information to include in an authority record describing his name, but not in the “Real World Object” (RWO) record describing the person behind the name.
One other thing to note about these two types of records is that they have fields with links that refer to each other. The authority record has an “Identifies RWO” field with a URI pointing to the “real world object” record for the person Colin Murphy, and the “real world object” record has an “Is Identified By Authority” field with a URI pointing to the authority record for his name:
Murphy, Colin (Journalist)
- URI(s)
- Identifies LC/NAF RWO
Murphy, Colin (Journalist)
- URI(s)
- Is Identified By Authority
In the next post, we’ll look at the third type of URI in the example bib record, a link to a record for a “Relationship” term located in a subfield $4.
This is the fifth in a series of seven weekly blog posts written by Zahra Gordon, the NHSL Cataloger, which will explain “Linked Data,”
an emerging topic in the library field, and how it relates to “Uniform
Resource Identifiers (URIs),” which are appearing in subfields of MARC
records with increasing frequency.

The NHAIS ILL System will be offline briefly tonight (Tuesday, May 26) for a software update starting at 10 o'clock.
-A new Undo Received option will be available to borrowers. Choosing Undo Received will move the request back to its prior status (Shipped, Recalled, Not Received, or Not Received/Overdue).
-The Undo Shipped option for lenders will be available for a longer time than in the past. Undo Shipped is an option for requests in Shipped, Not Received, Not Received/Overdue, and Recalled status and will now be available until the request is updated to Received by the borrower. When the lender chooses Undo Shipped, the request moves back to Pending status and the "Respond by" date is recalculated (lenders have three full days and a fraction of a fourth to respond to a request before it's automatically forwarded to the next potential lender on the lender list).
-When a request is placed on an item with only one or two valid ISBNs or ISSNs, the remaining blank fields for additional ISBNs or ISSNs in the request record were editable. This allowed the user to add invalid or incorrect identifiers to the request, resulting in a failed request. With this release, when there is at least one valid ISBN or ISSN on the source record, the fields will be read-only. 
My apologies. I’m not running on all cylinders today. Today is TUESDAY [May 26], not Monday.
The NC libraries who will not receive deliveries today are as follows:
Whitefield
Dalton
Lancaster
Groveton
Stratford
Colebrook
Errol
WMCC - Berlin
Berlin
Gorham
Jefferson
Randolph
Jackson
Bartlett
North Conway
Conway
Twin Mountain
Thank you for your patience.
