Discover how to delete WorldCat holdings from bibliographic records using the MARC 21 editor in WorldShare Record Manager Fundamentals.

 Note: If you are a WMS library or using full WorldShare Record Manager, please see Delete WorldCat holdings.

Overview

When you delete a WorldCat holding on a MARC 21 bibliographic record, your institution's OCLC symbol is no longer associated with the bibliographic record. Use this action when you no longer hold the item or if you inadvertently linked your OCLC symbol to the wrong record.

If you have LHRs attached to the record, the system also removes these items.

Delete a WorldCat holding on a bibliographic record

  1. From the MARC 21 editor, click Record.
  2. From the Record drop-down menu, select Delete WorldCat Holding. If you have LHRs attached to the record or LBD information, the system asks you to confirm that you want to remove it.
  3. Click Yes to remove LHRs, LBDs, and WorldCat holdings from the record. The OCLC symbol is removed from the top of the record.
