Fixing incorrect or obsolete serial records

When items are attached to an incorrect or obsolete serial record:

• Send e-mail to all libraries that own items attached to the obsolete record, explaining the situation.
• The cataloger creating the new serial record has the option to move other libraries' holdings or not, but the cataloger must communicate with other libraries in any case.
• Always add the appropriate ‡z to the call number(s) before moving any holdings, and be sure that ‡z contents in the call number(s) conforms to the patterns established in the CCS database.
• Always close out or remove your MARC Holdings record(s) on the obsolete record and add new MARC Holdings record(s) to the new record. Other libraries will have to do the same with their MARC Holdings records
• Always close out or remove a serial control record on the obsolete record and add a new serial control on the new record
