Discover how to enter the date arrived for a monograph and how to modify the date arrived for an item in WorldShare Acquisitions.

You can enter the date arrived for a monograph before receiving the item. This allows you to:    

  • Track the amount of time between when an item arrives at your library and when it is added to your collection
  • Find the original Date Arrived for an item or items upon request by patron or staff requestor

 Note: If you want to make sure your staff enter a date arrived for all monograph items, contact OCLC Support to have the Acquisitions setting turned on that will show the Date Arrived screen every time a monograph item is received.  This will appear immediately after the barcode is entered on the Receive and Invoice screen if configured in this way.
