What happens to our Digital Collection Gateway holdings during the scan/delete process?
Applies to
- Digital Collection Gateway
- WorldShare Collection Manager
Answer
As long as the collections are set to harvest in Digital Collection Gateway, any records that get removed will be replaced upon the next sync. So, you can delete all the WorldCat holdings in a reclamation project. What will happen is that the Digital Collection Gateway will re-sync with WorldCat and create the records upon the next harvest.
