- Make every effort not to create a duplicate Preliminary Data record (PDR). Search at least by ISBN/UPC and title, across all libraries, before importing a Preliminary Data record. If you find a hand-keyed Preliminary Data record and prefer to use an OCLC record, you must overlay the existing hand-keyed record.
- In Connexion:
- Add a 949 or other field, if using to create items on import.
- Add an 099 field with
PRELIMINARY DATA
. - Constant Data may be helpful to add one or both of these fields into records in your Local Save File.
- Export the records.
- In Polaris:
- Utilities > Importing > Express Import (or Full Import to change any settings)
- Select an import profile for loading PDRs.
- Add the file and Import.
- Check the import report. Correct any Provisional records, either by merging with a duplicate record or by saving as Final.
