This workflow begins with Acquisitions and will include a green slip. The bibliographic record and inventory have already been added. Your workflow will involve reviewing the bibliographic record to ensure inventory was attached to the correct record, overlaying the record with an enhanced record from Connexion (if necessary), reviewing the holding information, adding an item or completing an already existing item, and creating a work order for physical processing.
- Locate the bibliographic record by selecting from the Task list Items--In department.
- Locate the record from the Title list and click on it.
- Review the record to ensure it is the correct record for the item in hand.
- If it is not the correct record, see instructions for Relinking to a new bibliographic record (with or without PO line).
- If the record is the correct record but needs enhancing, search for the record in Connexion by OCLC number. (For special situations, see Updating a record in Alma.)
- Enhance the record and export to overlay the NZ record.
- Search for your record again to make sure it updated.
- Open the record in the MDE by selecting Edit
- If the record has not been shared with the NZ, select File--Share with network.
