Trouble Ticket #1706

Date Submitted: 2015-02-06

Title of e-Resource: UNBWorldCat - erroneous links displaying (parent ticket)

Nature of the Problem: Worldcat

Details: There is a catalogue-wide issue in UNBWorldCat with links displaying erroneously on records. This problem is most prevalent on print and electronic book records, although it is potentially affecting serials to an extent as well.

See this record for an example:
http://unb.worldcat.org/oclc/55800981

... the above record is for a print book and it is displaying a link to a completely unrelated eBook.

OCLC is aware of the issue and are working to tweak the algorithm that enables the links to display, but this will be an ongoing process meaning the erroneous links will not be removed any time soon.

This ticket will be updated as further news becomes available.

All separately reported instances of this will be merged into this ticket for tracking the extent of the trouble.
