Change the location for multiple items

Overview

When you change the branch location for multiple items, you are identifying several items by searching for them by barcode. You can then move the items to a different branch location. All parts or issues represented by a local holdings record are updated when you change the branch or shelving location for multipart or serial items.

You can also use the Digby mobile application to update the permanent or temporary location of monographs. Your Digby user account will need an appropriate staff role.  See Digby app FAQ for additional information.

 Note: The 876 $r information is not available for item-level changes. Consequently, for items that have this information, the subfield will not be updated.

• If you change the branch, any temporary shelving locations associated with the items will be removed.
• If using a barcode search, you can scan or enter up to 250 barcodes. Leave a space between each barcode entry. The system interprets this space as the Boolean OR between each barcode.
