Duplicate Title Wizard

The Duplicate Title wizard is used to create a new bibliographic record based on an existing one, and associated call numbers and items.

To duplicate a title

Click the Title Maintenance group wizard.

Click the Duplicate Title wizard. The Item Search window appears.

Use Item Search to search for the title you want to duplicate. If a current record exists for the item, click the Current information link to access the last record displayed, modified, or added.

If your search finds results, a list of matching records displays in the hit list area. If the View pane is turned on, the selected title will display in the lower portion of the window with two tabs, Description and Call Number/Item. Select the title you want to duplicate, and then click Duplicate.

On the Bibliographic Tab, if the title is duplicated, type MARC fixed data or the bibliographic text of the title.

On the Control Tab, enter information about maintaining the title.

On the MARC Holdings Tab, add, modify, or delete MARC Holdings information.

On the Call Number/Item Tab, enter additional call number and/or volume information. If the Auto-generate Temporary XX Call Numbers option is cleared in the wizard properties, the call number from the source record is carried over as the call number of the duplicated title.

–

To add another call number to this title, click Add Call Number. The Library for New Call Number dialog box appears. Select the library for the new call number, and then click OK.

–

To add an item to the current call number, type or scan an item ID, and click Add Item. On the Call Number/Item tab, default item information may appear. Modify item information, if needed, and click Save.

After a title is duplicated, click Save to save your changes.

Users can only duplicate titles for libraries in their Call Number Maintenance library group.
