Sometimes when working on a project in the stacks, or when troubleshooting a problem with a title, you might find that it is incorrectly cataloged onto the wrong record. You can fix this one of two ways: 1) sometimes you can find the correct record in FOLIO and move the SEL holdings/items to that record if another school in the Five Colleges owns the title, or 2) you can overlay the new correct cataloging record.
This document covers option 1: finding the correct record in FOLIO and moving the SEL holdings and item(s) to that record.
Steps
Confirm that the item in hand is actually on the incorrect record
Click Actions – View source to review title page information, edition statement and publication date to confirm. All pieces of information must be an exact match.
If they are not an exact match, search for the correct record. First check in by searching Inventory to see if another one of the Five Colleges owns the same title on the correct record. If another school owns a copy and has holdings on a bib, check FIRST to see if the record is in the Non-shared record locations
Moving a title to a shared bib
If another of the Five Colleges owns the title on a shared bib, move the SEL copy to the correct record.
Copy the HRIDs for both instance records that you want to interact with and paste them into a text file for later. This can be done easily by selecting the clipboard icon next to the HRID in the instance record detail pane
Click Actions – Move holdings/items to another instance
This will bring up a Select instance search prompt. Select Instance HRID and paste in the HRID of the title that you want to move the holdings/item records to
Click Search and select the one title that is returned
The title that you had started with will be in the left pane and the instance that you searched for will be in the right pane. The item accordions have been expanded, showing all holdings and items for both titles. There is now a check-box in front of the barcode for each item, and there is a check-box just above each holdings record.
Checkbox #1 moves the holdings record AND all attached items (You will use this most often for SEL items)
Checkbox #2 moves all the items under that holdings record, BUT NOT the holdings record
Checkbox #3 moves ONLY the specific item record
If you check off the box to move the holdings record:
Click on the Move to dropdown
You will see the title of the other instance. Click on the title to move the selected holdings to the other instance record
Click Continue to confirm the move with a pop-up box that shows the number of holdings records moved and destination of the records
Review the changes you made and close either instance record to return to a normal Inventory view
If you use the check-boxes to move one or more items:
Click on the Move to dropdown
You will see a list of the holdings records on the other instance
Select the title with the appropriate SEL holdings to move the checked items to that holdings record
Click Continue to confirm the number of items records moved and destination of the records
Review the changes you made and close either instance record to return to a normal Inventory view
If the holdings/items that you moved were the only remaining records on the old instance record, delete the instance records using the Delete a record in Inventory instructions.
