Chapter 24 Working with copies

Each item in the libraryĊbook or otherwiseĊneeds a place to store its unique

information, such as the copy barcode and call number. The Copy Editor

provides you with an easy way to enter and maintain copy information. This

chapter provides instructions for adding, editing, and deleting individual copies.

Note:

If you need to modify the same information in several copies, you may

want to use Cataloging's other copy update options, which are described

in Chapter 27, Maintaining your collection."

Adding and editing copies

Whether you're adding the first copy to a new bibliographic record, adding

additional copies to an existing record, or modifying a copy's information, you

start by displaying the bibliographic record for the item in the MARC View

window.
If you just saved a new bibliographic record, you're already there; otherwise, you

must locate the record (see Finding MARC records..." on page 240). From the

MARC View window, you can add, edit, or delete copy information:

To add a new copy from scratch

or by replicating the highlighted

copy, click Add Copy.

To delete the highlighted copy,

click Delete. For more information

see page 288.

To make changes to a copy,

highlight it and click Edit Copy.

To ensure that you have the

right copy, check the call

number and barcode.

For Union Catalog Plus, the Copy

Information window contains a

Member column and omits the

Copy Status column. For more

information see page 250.

Note:

You can't add copies to a temporary title. You can only edit the existing

copy. (See Permanent or temporary?" on page 234.)
