Deleting Holdings Records:

        withdraw items
    • When all items are deleted from a holdings record the "Last item(s) of Holdings record deleted or moved" action box appears
      • Click on the radio button for "Delete Bibliographic record (unless other holdings are present)" and click Go
      • A message will appear above the title saying the item has been successfully deleted
      • Click Back (or < arrow)
  2. If the Holdings Record has no items:
    • Perform a repository search
    • Click Holdings
