Holdings records are created and attached to bibliographic records at the point of accessioning by staff in the Acquisitions unit.

N.B. (1) Some transfers may come to us with an asterisk at the end of the call number, which simply indicates that the item is a transfer.  This asterisk should be retained in the 852 $$x, but removed in the 541 $$e.
