This is another quick update regarding our near match report in XLS format.
First, a little refresher about how it looks in HTM format currently:
1. a9704426 | |||
100 1 | $a Bernhardt, Rolf. | ||
99.5% | n 81070694 | 100 10 | $a Bernhardt, Rolf, $d 1934- |
93.8% | n 00114719 | 100 1 | $a Bernhardt, Rudolf, $d b. 1867? |
2. a9733670 | |||
100 1 | $a Carroll, Stephen J. | ||
99.5% | n 79041728 | 100 1 | $a Carroll, Stephen J., $d 1930- |
99.5% | n 79041110 | 100 1 | $a Carroll, Stephen J., $d 1940- |
And this is how it looks in XLS format:
No | Bib ID | UNM | Unmatched Heading | %-1 | Tag-1 | Near Match-1 | Authority-1 |
1 | a9704426 | 100 | $a Bernhardt, Rolf. | 84.8% | 100 | $a Bernhardt, Rolf, $d 1934- | |
2 | a9733670 | 100 | $a Carroll, Stephen J. | 87.2% | 100 | $a Carroll, Stephen J., $d 1930- |
The quick update we just added to the XLS version is that whenever you click on the authority LCCN (for either the first or second near match), it will bring up the online Library of Congress authority record. From there, it also gives you options to view in MARCXML, MADS, URI on id.loc.gov, or VIAF.
We’re hoping this makes it easier on your side to bring up these authorities for a closer look while reviewing the near match report.
