Once you have located a bibliographic record that matches your item physical or electronic holdings can be added to make the item discoverable at your library.
Bibliographic records can be located as described in Chapter 22, Searching the Database for Cataloguing Purposes or added as described in the section on Adding Bibliographic Records.
- Retrieve the bibliographic record you would like to add a holding to.
From the Record Details screen, click Add Holdings.
The Holdings Editor opens up in a new tab.
- Currently the default Owning and Circulating Library of the item will always be the location of the workstation. Future development is expected to return the ability for multi-branch libraries to select a branch in Holdings View and have it be used for the Owning and Circulating Library.
- Complete the required fields in both the call number and item records. Refer to the section called “Working on Item Attributes” for information about individual fields in an item record. To ensure data consistency, using holdings templates is recommended. Select one from the dropdown list, then click on Apply. Refer to the section called “Holdings Template” for more information.
- Once done, click on Save & Exit. The pop-up tab is closed.
The Holdings Editor has not changed between the current catalogue and the experimental catalogue so additional information on working with it can be found in the section called “Adding Holdings to Bibliographic Records”.
