Latest revision as of 13:11, 30 October 2009
This page consists of three sections.
The first section, "Serials that were already VTs when we started the cleanup effort", is a list of Serials that were set up as Variant Titles as of 2009-08-08. In some cases, these Serials were published pseudonymously and have not appeared in book form. These Serial records are currently VT'd to the Serial's author's (or authors') canonical name(s) and should be kept "as is". After verification, the "Fixed" column should be marked "OK".
In addition, many Serials that have appeared in book form were set up as VT's of other (effectively placeholder) Serial records in order to make the "lexical match" logic work. These Serials should be VT'd to the main canonical Title record of the Novel instead and the placeholder Serial Titles should be deleted. Once a record has been fixed, its row should be marked "Fixed".
The second section, "Malformed Serial titles", lists all Serial titles that do not follow the standard wording, i.e. "(Part X of Y)" or "(Complete Novel)" -- note the capitalization. These will not be processed by the automated conversion script, so either their titles need to be regularized to use "(Complete Novel)" or "(Part X of Y)" or they need to be manually made into VTs of their parent Novel/Shortfiction titles.
The third section, "Serials Matching VTs", lists all Serial Titles that match Novel/Shortfiction Titles which are, in turn, set up as variant titles of other Novels/Shortfiction. The automated conversion script will not process these Serial Titles, so we need to set them up manually. In most cases, it will involve making Serial Titles into VTs of the matching canonical Novel/Shortfiction Titles. If there were no publications published under the variant title (it was a stub record created solely to add the variant-titled serial) the title record should be deleted as well.
Completed sections have been archived.
