Can I delete a bib record from our IZ that has no inventory?
Answer
Local Records:
If a bib record in your IZ does not have a network symbol next to the title, and it has no inventory you may delete the IZ bib record from the MD editor.
- Click Edit Record
- Click Records Actions>Delete Record
NZ-Linked Records:
If there is a network symbol next to the bib record, you will need to unlink the bib record from the NZ before deleting.
- Click Edit Record
- Click Records Actions>Copy to Catalog
- Click Save. Make sure the new bib record has your library's 4 digit identifier at the end of the MMS ID
- Go to Record Actions>Delete Record
The record will no longer be in your IZ , but the bib record will still be in the NZ. If there are no other holding libraries, feel free to report the record to SLS for deletion. Otherwise, it will be caught in regular NZ clean-up.
