Improve matching between format of order and format of bibs in Network Zone
Matching routines between Rialto and Alma focus on the ISBN as a match point, primarily using 020$a and 020$z, but also using 775$z and 776$z. When a Rialto institution is in a consortium using a Network Zone, and the NZ is configured as the repository for records to be added, this match method may result in false matches between records of different formats.
For example, a title selected in Rialto for a one-time print book purchase may be matched on a bibliographic record for the electronic version based on the ISBN found in a 776$z. The 776 field identifies an additional "physical" form for a title. An ISBN match here may represent the presence of the same title but not necessarily the proper format requested. Similar mismatches might occur if 020$z data are not qualified properly. (See SalesForce Case 06329162.)
We would like to see improved matching between the format selected for an order and the format of the bibliographic record selected from the repository. Matching should consider both the ISBN data as well as the context for the match, such as using qualifiers in 020$q and 776$i.
