Define a holding library code and institution symbol or MARC organization code for offline cataloging

Overview

 Note: For offline cataloging, you must define a holding library code and institution symbol.

The client uses the holding library code and institution symbol you assign for bibliographic workforms, bibliographic constant data workforms, and imported records in a local file.

NACO-authorized libraries must define a separate MARC organization code to use the authority workforms and imported records.
