Analytics

Local Parameter Field Assignment

Local Parameters are data fields within the Bibliographic Details and Holdings Details dimensions in Analytics that can be assigned to display and report on any Marc field in the bibliographic or holdings record.  Whereas previously only ten fields each were available for bibliographic and holdings records as of July 2024 thirty fields are now available for bibliographic records (holdings records are still limited to ten).  The labels for these fields, how they appear in your design desplay, have also been improved. The assigned Marc field appears at the start of the label, and assigned fields are sorted numerically at the top of the field list.

IMPORTANT: Unassignd local paramter fields WILL NOT DISPLAY as they did previously.

Going forward, it may not be necessary to retain the below documentation since analytics shows what marc field is assigned and with thirty available fields the need to swap out assignments is greatly reduced or even eliminated.

Bibliographic Details 

• Local Param 01: Marc 852. Call Number, used by MoMA.
  Note: Previously this was old Sierra Bib Record Number from the Marc field 910 but this is available in two other places in analytics. In Bibliographic Details, it's in "Originating System ID" and "Network Number", which both (more or less) reproduce it from the bib 035 field with the (nynyarc) prefix. 

• Local Param 02: Marc 952. used by MoMA for cataloging statistics
  Note: Bib 852 fields are copied over to 952 so that they are available to search in Alma. On the analytics side however, we could just have easily assigned the 852 to a local parameter field as 952 to make it available to report. 

• Local Param 03: Marc 561. Ownership and custodial history note, used by MoMA and Frick. 

• Local Param 04: Marc 541. Immediate source of acquisition note, used by MoMA, can be reassigned.

• Local Param 05: Marc 947. Frick cataloguing statistics. 

• Local Param 06: Marc 774. Constituent Unit Entry, added for MoMA to report bound with titles

• Local Param 07: Marc 090. Locally Assigned LC-type Call Number. Added by MoMA. Short-term only for creating analytic sets. 

• Local Param 08: Marc 340. Frick Photoarchive medium and dimensions.
