       • If there is only one 856 on each record, just do a field swap, then add $7BC to all. (When using field swap, omit $ from subfield.)
       • If there are multiple 856s, find a common element to the ones we’ll use, and use that to further define the swap fields function. (i.e. umbc or dx.doi) If this creates more than one 956 in each record, skim to see if you can delete any by using words like “proxy” in your search.

Submit an Rx for your load request and say that you are adding the file to the BC Dropbox folder (also good to say how many records are in the file; the max number of records is about 15,000, or a file of 30MB). Ask for them to be loaded in Test first so that you can see if everything went as expected. If it all looks good, then you can give me the go ahead to load in Live.

...

(deletion wording? I've put the file bc_ebldda_deletions 10-4-14.txt in Dropbox. Please delete any UMBC items with collection WWW + IPS:PA and any linked HOLs. Please also delete any 956 fields containing "UMBC.eblib." If there are no other items/HOLs on the record, please delete the bib record.)

Notes:

Naming convention: For the working files, I recommend vendor_MM-DD-YY
