A. Multiple bibliographic records representing the same title, format, and edition are resolved at the WorldCat level. If you find duplicate WorldCat records in the Network Zone, i.e. bibliographic records with different OCLC control numbers but representing the same title/format/edition, you can send a request to merge duplicates to bibchange@oclc.org. When these duplicates are resolved in OCLC, the next daily load into our Network Zone will include these records. Duplicates, or multi-matches, are resolved by the NZ Task Force on a daily basis. |
Q. Is there a way to construct instructor-owned reserves so that they do not count as individual bib records?
| Info |
|---|
A. Alma provides specific functionality related to instructor-owned reserves. To use that functionality you do need to create a brief bib. However, if you don’t need that functionality, you can simply create a new item for an existing bib and store info about the instructor loan in a note. Please note, it is unlikely that you are creating so many of these that it is having a serious impact on our total bib count. So if you are getting value from the Alma functionality, you should keep using it. |
