Books and Media (https://find.library.duke.edu)
URLs for bibliographic details pages in Books & Media will have different formats depending on whether the bibliographic record was created in Aleph and migrated to Alma, or whether it was created directly in Alma.
We’ll refer to records created in Aleph and migrated to Alma as “Aleph-born”, and records created in Alma directly (after cutover on July 10th) as “Alma-born.”
Bibliographic record identifiers in Aleph were used to construct Books & Media URLs
When an bib record was created in Aleph, it received a nine-digit Aleph sysid that served as the unique record identifier. The Aleph sysid was used to create the URL in Books & Media.
For example, if an Aleph-born record was in Books & Media with the URL https://find.library.duke.edu/catalog/DUKE002109345, the last nine digits - 002109345 - are the Aleph sysID.
