Permanent Hide Records in Vera
Permanent Hide records are Hide=yes records in Vera that are marked with the text: [PERMANENT HIDE] in the title field. We initiated this procedure to better define Hide=yes records. Pure Hide =yes records should be titles that are pending access or are currently being investigated as a resource to include in public Vera. Marking a record as Permanent Hide serves to define in terms of one of the following categories:
- Package level records that are not intended for public viewing, but are available to those who work with Vera to provide package information. These records are indicated by marking the Package field as 'parent' at the top of the VERA record and adding the text [PERMANENT HIDE: package level record] to the title field.
- Access not initiated, resource already investigated. These are titles that we have looked into previously but for one reason or another (mostly cost or access), either the selector has decided not to choose the title or the access model is not a viable one for Vera. These records are indicated in Vera by adding the text [PERMANENT HIDE: on hold] to the title field.
- Changed records - Records that have had a publisher or interface change and are superseded by completely new records, and changed to Hide=yes. These records are indicated in Vera by adding the text [PERMANENT HIDE: change/cancellation] to the title field.
- Cancelled titles are records that we have cancelled or that have altogether ceased being published and no longer offer access and are Hide=yes. These records are indicated in Vera byadding the text [PERMANENT HIDE: change/cancellation] to the title field.
For all of the above categories except package level records, make sure to include details of why you marked this title as permanent hide, your initials, and the date. Here are a few examples:
