Multiple libraries have reported issues with the number of titles on a purchase order not matching the number of titles in the MARC file downloaded from Baker & Taylor. We have been able to determine the MARC record for a title is not included when the 20th position of the leader portion contains a 3; this position should always contain a 4. This issue has been reported to Baker & Taylor for a resolution, we do not know how long it will take them to accomplish this.
There is no need to refrain from importing MARC Orders from Baker & Taylor at this time. You should however verify all titles have been imported. If you find some titles are dropped you should contact Baker & Taylor to pass along the issue identified above.
We will update this issue as more information becomes available and send a SWANcom when it has been resolved.
