Local Holdings Maintenance
Local Holdings Maintenance - Part 1
This webinar will introduce library staff to the basics of editing Local Holdings Records (LHRs) through the OCLC Connexion Browser. We will discuss the implementation of MARC 21 format in OCLC, and demonstrate the steps required to update LHRs. In Part 1, the focus is on LHRs created by the automated migration from Passport UL, and trainees will learn how to update and delete holdings currently in the system. This webinar will include live demonstration of updating in OCLC Connexion.
Tuesday, May 3, 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM (Central Time)

Local Holdings Maintenance - Part 2
This session will expand trainees' knowledge of Local Holdings Record maintenance though the OCLC Connexion Browser. Through live demonstration and exercises, we will learn how to create new LHRs - either from scratch, or by deriving a new LHR from an existing one.
Tuesday, May 10, 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM (Central Time)
Register for "Local Holdings Maintenance - Part 2"
Local Holdings Maintenance - Part 3
Third in our series on Local Holdings Record (LHR) maintenance through the OCLC Connexion Browser.

For this session, you are invited to contact us with your examples of records that require more than a simple LHR.
