Workflow

This document outlines how to record serial binding information in a 911 local holdings field and how to use the Items to Bind report dashboard to export spreadsheets for shipments going to the bindery.

This procedure outlines the process for checking whether a newly received item arriving at a shelving location from a source other than Acquisitions/Metadata Services can be added to an existing fully cataloged record or if it needs to be referred to your local Tech Lead or Cataloging Unit for records work before adding to the collection. This documentation is NOT to be used for replacements for lost copies (forthcoming).

This document describes the process for withdrawing properly linked related records in Alma, that is, two or more records that describe the resource(s) in one physical volume and that are linked via a host bibliographic record.

The document also addresses the process of withdrawing multiple records that describe the resource(s) in one physical volume but that are not linked through a host bibliographic record, such as records for unlinked analytics.

Items that are missing are declared lost and withdrawn after multiple searches. Sometimes these items are later recovered (either returned or found in the stacks). This document describes steps to take if a selector determines that the recovered copy should be reinstated.

This procedure is to be used by staff for manual withdrawal of Items only if the items are NOT missing or billed/lost and are NOT on Related records (aka Host Bibs).

A multivolume monograph (MVM) is a monograph complete, or intended to be complete, in a finite number of separate parts. The separate parts may or may not be numbered; volumes may be issued over time or all at once.

There are times when we have predicted Item records for serial issues that have not been received and need to be deleted.

This procedure presents the steps for marking Alma bibliographic and holdings records for deletion. To delete an item record, see Deleting (Withdrawing) Item Records in Alma.

This document contains the processes and use cases for deleting item records which were created recently in error. This document does not cover deletion for catalog maintenance nor what are traditionally considered as withdrawals.
