7.2 Overview to Adding Holdings

Use this function to inventory bound serial items during retrospective conversion, or to enter items that unexpectedly appear that you will keep (e.g., a subscription stops but you still receive some issues or supplements). 



DO NOT USE THIS FUNCTION TO ENTER CURRENT ISSUES.  ENTERING 
ISSUES VIA THIS FUNCTION DOES NOT UPDATE VALUES FOR LAST ISSUE 
RECEIVED.  




You need not enter the items in chronological order, nor enter 
all the items attached to a specific title at the same time.  
However, entering titles that have several parts to each volume 
in order, will help you to set the Complete Volume flag properly. 
You should have two bibliographic records for titles having a 
hard copy and another medium like microform since the pattern of 
receipts may be different for each.  You can use a bound note to 
clarify the holdings, if necessary.  




Before items can be inventoried, the titles must be entered into 
the catalog bibliographic file by importing or creating the bib 
in advance, or by creating the title dynamically from this 
function.
