Why is our holdings symbol missing from a FirstSearch record?

The articles holdings has two common reasons a library’s holding symbol is missing from the holdings display.  One reason is that the holdings was added recently.  The journal holdings information is compiled weekly.  So if a holdings symbol was added to a journal recently, then it should appear within a week of that update.  The second reason is if a record for a journal or journal article does not include the ISSN for the journal, FirstSearch cannot supply holdings information for the record.
