I would look at the sierra load table.  You can easily compare the MarcEdit outputs -- but this would require the tool changing the data in one of the control fields (LDR, 007, 008 -- one of those fields).  MarcEdit doesn't make any changes to those fields save for updating character encoding when moving from MARC8 to UTF8 and back. 

Being somewhat familiar with Sierra and III, the load table sets many data elements, and III has multiple load tables.  I believe that if you downloaded a record, did your work in MarcEdit, then compared the control headers -- you'd see no changes (save for positions/lengths) will be made.  My guess is that your problem is on the III side.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Tool changing mat type

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone else has noted this, if there is a workaround, and if this is a bug that needs fixing.

At my institution we have noticed that when we bring in e-resource records into MarcEdit, make our necessary changes and then reload those records into our ILS (Sierra), MarcEdit is somehow changing the Mat Type from "digital book" to "book".  

We wanted to make sure that this isn't happening due to any of the changes to the records we are making so we tested it by simply extracting a single record, making no changes, and then loading the record back in and it was still changing the Mat Type from "digital book" to "book".  

Is anyone else noting this?  Does anyone know how to fix this or keep this from happening?  I appreciate the help on this!

Emily
