Holdings Maintenance for Sets Split between Campus Library and NRLF

TO:

All staff who update summary holdings statements (variable field 866 in Holdings Records) for serial or other set records.

 

WHAT:

In a Catalog Department Blog posting from Feb 23, 2010 we asked you to Hold Off Editing Holdings Records Where Volumes are Split between Campus and the NRLF.

 

Since then, draft procedures have been written to allow you to perform clean-up and holdings maintenance on set titles where some of the volumes are in your library and others are shelved at NRLF. These draft procedures, Holdings Maintenance for Sets Split between Campus Library and NRLF, are available on AskTico, under the “Cataloging” section.

 

ACTION ITEM:

Comments, suggestions, or identification of potential problems, etc. regarding this document should be directed to Lisa Rowlison de Ortiz (lrowliso@library.berkeley.edu) no later than Friday, April 9th.

 

EXCEPTION:

This document does NOT include procedures on how to manage holdings when depositing sets and/or adding new volumes to fully or partially deposited sets. These topics will be addressed in a separate, forthcoming document.
