Important things to consider

  • permanent retention commitments - is item coded for perm retention through partnership such as recap or hathi? need to ask collections SC – the disbound items don't meet criteria anymore for inclusion in recap

Section for hwat to do when book IS disbound for scanning and is now in a box with other disbounds

  • corinna has to add bib to prod and hol template with correct number
  • de-accession from HD if that was perm loc
  • delete item record in alma for disbound volume
  • update hol
    • $$b library-cod $$c HD $$h Box 1 (or appropriate number)
    • with 977 linking to new collection-level record.. do this by using existing template to add constant 977 field
    • Starting from hol with just 852, use Control+E to get template list, type 977 to get the template "977 for disbound reserves"
    • save holdings
  • if there were other copies on that hol that were not disbound for scanning, those will need a separate hol now
  • item for box on collection-level record should have material type BOX

example 977

there will be a single collection level records to which all item records for boxes are attached, each lib will have its own hol
