Midwest

Midwest sets up the majority of your MARC download settings when doing your EDI account setup. However, there is one setting you need to confirm is unset.

1. Log in to Midwest's site at https://www.midwesttape.com.

2. Navigate to Settings > Change Library Settings > Manage Vendor MARC Config.

3. Most of these attributes will already be set by Midwest. However, you want to confirm that these settings look like the screenshot below:

Midwest number: Checked
useOCLC#ifAvailable: Unchecked

This is extremely important, since if these settings aren't correct then it can block imports and overlays from OCLC via Z39.50.
