Variant Records |
If the Fulfill using variant records setting is enabled in Holds and Schedules, Settings, the system will store all OCLC numbers held by the library (or its circulation group) in the same edition cluster as the bibliographic record selected by the user. The list of OCLC numbers will be visible to library staff in WorldShare Circulation. Any item cataloged for the requested edition will be available to fulfil title-level hold requests. No preference will be given to any of the OCLC numbers in the variant record set. Variant records cannot be removed or added to the set. Contact OCLC Support to report inaccuracies in the variant record set. Note: Queue position is an estimation of the order in which holds may be fulfilled. Queue position may vary when the request is viewed in different queues. When viewing the patron's holds, the queue position will reflect the OCLC number that the user selected when the hold was created. |
Enumeration | The volume, issue, part, etc. of the requested serial or multi-part item. |
Chronology | The publication date information of the requested serial or multi-part item. |
Description | The textual description of a requested serial or multi-part item. |
Barcode |
Barcode of the item. A system-generated barcode will be associated with a special request. To fulfill a special request, you must check in the system-generated barcode and then select the barcoded item you wish to use to fulfill the hold. If you are using integration with WorldShare ILL or Tipasa, temporary item records are created to represent borrowed items. ILL hold requests will have a system-generated barcode. This value is updated to the barcode you select when you receive the item in WorldShare ILL or Tipasa. |
