Move a LHR to a different WorldCat record (Fundamentals)

Overview

You can move up to 100 local holdings records to:

• Upgrade an item on a brief record to a fuller record.
• Move a LHR to a record with the correct edition or format.
• Correct a matching issue that occurred in data processing.

 Note:

• A bibliographic record may contain a maximum of 10,000 local holdings records.

  • It is the last local holdings record in the bibliographic record
    AND
  • You enable the Associated WorldCat Holding(s) checkbox when moving the local holdings record.
