If you are importing MARC records from vendors, you will need to have your holdings subfields set up. Much of this work may be done by the PINES Acquisitions Specialist, but there are a few areas where you will need to set up this information.

Grids Info

IMPORTANT! Branch codes must EXACTLY match your PINES org unit names, e.g. LOPL-BULL or CRLS-DAW.

If you have existing branch codes in your vendor's website, they must be modified to match your PINES branch names.

<fc #ff0000>Your branch codes WILL NOT be imported into Evergreen if they do not exactly match your PINES org unit names.</fc>

Fund Codes

If you choose to assign fund codes in your vendor's website, they must EXACTLY match your fund codes in Evergreen. Similarly to branch codes, if you have existing fund codes in your vendor's website, they must be modified to match your PINES fund codes.

<fc #ff0000>Your fund codes WILL NOT be imported into Evergreen if they do not exactly match your fund CODES (not names) in PINES.</fc>

Your existing PINES fund codes can be extracted in a report. It is located in Reports→Shared Templates→PINESacqadmin→Funds→“List of funds with parameters.” The fund codes can then be copy and pasted into a text file to be used for batch import into a vendor site.

Baker & Taylor
Baker & Taylor offers a batch import option to import your fund codes en masse. Instructions are found here: Batch import fund codes into TS360.

Be aware that the batch import in TS360 will add fund codes to anything that already exists. If you were previously using fund codes, you will either need to delete/inactivate them and then batch import your new codes; or manually modify them to match your new Acquisitions fund codes.

Baker & Taylor calls these “Custom MARC profiles.” There may or may not be a charge for this service; contact your vendor representative to check.

Pre-requisitites for using MARC Profiles:

  • You must have set up a provider in Evergreen for each of your active Baker & Taylor accounts
  • 962 holdings information must be entered by PINES for each provider profile
  • [If using branches in grids] You must have set up branch names already in TS360 Admin > Grid Codes.
  • [If using funds in grids] You must have setup fund names in TS360 Admin > Grid Codes.
Your fund names and branch names must EXACTLY match Evergreen. Branch names should be formatted as DTRL-BLAK not Blakely or BLAK, for example. Fund codes must also exactly match Evergreen.
