In 2013, Marmot did extensive usability studies with patrons to determine what was difficult in the catalog. Many patrons had problems sifting through all of the various formats and editions of a title. In 2014 we developed a method for [//mercury.marmot.org/Union/Search?lookfor=divergent grouping records] so only a single result work is shown in search results and all formats and editions are listed under that resultwork. This presentation We will cover all discuss our definition of a 'work' based on FRBR principles; combining meta data from MARC records with metadata from other sources like OverDrive; the technical details for how we accomplished of Record Grouping, ; the design decisions in made during implementation, ; and the reaction from usersand staff.
