Text view

You can create a Text View bibliographic record by:

• Deriving WorldCat bibliographic records, which is creating a new bibliographic record from an existing record that is similar to the new record you are creating.    
• Using a material type template to create the bibliographic record, which is creating bibliographic records using a material type.

Before creating a bibliographic record, search WorldCat to make sure that:

• No existing WorldCat bibliographic record matches the item exactly. By verifying that no one has previously added a WorldCat record for the item, you can prevent duplicate WorldCat records from being created.
• No existing WorldCat record matches the item closely enough to derive the new WorldCat record from it.
