Discover how cataloging agents can interact with archives records and local holdings records.
Archive records
Update, Produce, and Delete Holdings transactions are archived.
An archive record is written for each OCLC symbol in field 951 ‡l.
The record for each symbol contains field 049 (Local Holdings) with the institution’s default holding library code.
The archive record does not contain field 951.
Local holdings records
A cataloging agent cannot delete holdings from a record for which a local holdings record (LHR) exists for the group. If an agent tries, the system displays an error message.
