      Make the library has cancelled in the Serials LC collection. The call number will be listed the Data column as shown below:

      • Image Added

    2. Once the LH record is open, make sure Edit is set to: Editing local holdings record; if it isn’t, click on the Edit dropdown menu; select Editing local holdings record, or make sure you are using the correct OCLC authorization.

  2. Fixed fields editing: click on the + symbol to the left of the field (which will expand the field)

    • A lot of our LHR will have obsolete/old formatting: we can update the fixed fields and 007 and reformat the 866 fields to 853/863 (Optional) or we can just update the minimum (Required, unless you wish to update to 853/863) as outlined here.

      • To edit/update fixed fields, click on the + symbol to the left of the field (which will expand the field)

      • To close fixed fields: Apply or if opened by mistake: Cancel

  3. Fix 007 field codes - Strongly suggested

      • Category: z to t (text) for a Print Journal

    • For a journal on microfilm reels:

      • Category: h

      • Material Designation: d

  5. Image RemovedImage Added

    Optional: change 866 to 853/863, using the open Holdings Record for the journal in Sierra as a guide; then change Summary from the textual summary (delete the old 866 field) matching the old 866 to this phrase: Local Holdings Available

    1. To add new fields, click on Functions; Add Single Fields or Add Multiple Fields.

    2. However, if not updating to 853/863, then it is Required to update the text version in field 866 to current holdings as best as possible based on what is listed in Sierra’s holdings record/and or item records (and it may be easier to simply update to the LHR the current 853/863 standard).

  6. Edit; Validate record:

    • If problems come up, such as typos; edit them; then Validate again.

  7. Action; Replace record; click Yes when asked if you are sure about Replacing the record.

    • A saved LHR will reformat into something like this:

      • Nice.
