For a provisional bib record, you will identify general information about the book such as: title, creator, date, publisher, pages, size, etc. You should set up a record template in Alma for these OC (original cataloging) records. ADD INFO SOMEWHERE AND LINK HERE?
Information about which fields to include in your brief bib record template can be found on the Schlesinger Published Materials Sharepoint site: https://hu.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/RAD_Schles/Shared%20Documents/PUBLISHED%20MATERIALS/LIBRARY%20ASSISTANT/Template%20information/BRIEF%20bib%20Record-Template.docx?d=wd8a96a0601c650f084e29d2f9da575cf&csf=1&web=1&e=6aZgma. There is also a checklist that goes into more detail about what each field means and how to correctly use it: https://hu.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/RAD_Schles/Shared%20Documents/PUBLISHED%20MATERIALS/LIBRARY%20ASSISTANT/WORKFLOWS/Brief_Record_Checklist.docx?d=w2a825437498555cc833c4313154054ac&csf=1&web=1&e=K3xbRG.
