Discover how to manually check for duplicate call numbers in a local holdings record in WorldShare Record Manager.

 Note:

  • If you would like all LHRs to automatically be checked for duplicate call numbers when they are added or edited, enable the corresponding user preference in the Working with Records accordion. 
  • The duplicate call number warning will only appear for LHRs that are attached to separate bibliographic records. In the case that the duplicate call number exists in an LHR under the same bibliographic record there will be no warning.
