Most of the records referenced by WPR staff have extant OCLC records, so work will be done in OCLC and merged into the extant Alma record.
Preliminary Steps
- Search the Alma record number supplied by WPR.
- In the Alma record look for the OCLC record number in the 035: 035 __ $$a (OCoLC)828262976
- Search this number in Alma. If there are multiple hits, set this record aside and move on. Report duplicates to the Technical Services Librarian.
- Once certain of no Alma duplicates, search the OCLC number in Connexion.
- If there is an extant record (and there will be), edit this record. Our holdings may or may not be indicated, but these records were all created by Houghton, most likely by upload from HULPR or Aleph.
