For Union Catalog Plus: Assigning copies on import

The import dialog is slightly different if you are importing to Union Catalog Plus.

To assign the copies to a member, select the option which best suits your needs.

After selecting your assignment method, continue with step 2 on page 292.

To assign the copies to the union catalog

member whose MOC is in the MARC

record's 852a tag, select this radio button.
Note: The MOC must be defined in

Member setup.

To assign the copies to a union catalog

member of your choice, select this radio

button and click Select member.
Then from the Select Member dialog that

appears, highlight the member and click

Select. The member's full site name then

appears here and in the title bar of the

progress window.

Important:

If you select the Assign to member option, the import process ignores

any MARC Organization Code (MOC) that may be in the 852_a tag

and assigns the copies to the member you specify.

On the Import Options dialog, the Assign Barcode buttons are not available. If

you selected Assign to member based on 852, the Assign Barcodes group box,

Circulation Type, and the Category Codes options are also not available.

Importing MARC 21/852 Holdings Format Data by Barcode

If you recently sent your bibliographic and copy records to Follett Software Data

Services or some other vendor for a retrospective conversion and now want to

import them back into your database, use the Import MARC 21/852 Holdings

Format By Barcode option. This function does not add titles or copies to your

database. This function replaces your bibliographic records with the ones

contained in the import file.

Important:

The Import MARC 21/852 Holdings Format by Barcode function

should only be used to update your existing bibliographic records

with enhanced data. Do not use this function to import new

bibliographic records that you received with new materials.
