About searching for local holdings records (LHRs)

Search for holdings records when you need to maintain your institution's local holdings for items in your collection.
Holdings maintenance usually begins with searching WorldCat, whether you are creating local holdings for new materials, adding local holdings records for new copies, updating existing local holdings records, or deleting local holdings records.

Find local holdings records (LHRs)

You can retrieve the bibliographic record for the title you want and then edit existing local holdings records or create new LHRs.
Or, use holdings search limits to retrieve only bibliographic records linked to the holdings information you need. The holdings limits are:

Institution Holdings (index label li:) - Retrieves bibliographic records for titles held by a specified institution. Does not require the presence of local holdings records.
My Local Holdings (index label l4:) - Retrieves bibliographic records with local holdings records added by your institution.
Group Holdings (index label zu:) - Retrieves bibliographic records for titles held by any institution that belongs to a specified group. Does not require the presence of local holdings records.
Group Local Holdings (index label l5:) -Retrieves bibliographic records for titles with local holdings for any institution that belongs to a specified group.

About holdings agents

An agent can maintain holdings for specific client institutions. Typically, client libraries do not have direct access to Connexion.
Profiling for an Agent authorization identifies the institution symbols of clients. When logged on using an Agent authorization, a user can edit, add, and delete holdings for client institutions linked to that authorization.
Agents use the same procedures as users maintaining holdings for their own institution.
Agent activity is usually done by staff at a processing center or other networking agency.

You can select a list type before viewing search results; you can also change the type while viewing results. Your selected list type remains in effect until you change it.

Customize results displays (Cataloging Options)

On the Cataloging Options screen, you can set two options that affect WorldCat search results. Note: Changing these settings is optional; the system-supplied default settings work well for most users.
The WorldCat Results option determines whether search results present multiple screens of 10 records per screen or a scrollable list of 25 or 100 records. This option applies to search results, whether you view the records as a truncated list or a brief list. It does not affect group lists. Default setting: 100 Records.
The Truncated List Details option lets you choose whether to view a popup list of all indexed fields for the term in the first column of a truncated list. With this function On, when you place the mouse pointer on an item in the list, a yellow screen tip appears showing additional record fields from the record. Default setting: On - Show using optimized screen tips
To view or change the settings, on the General tab, under Admin Options, click Preferences. At the Preferences screen, click Cataloging Options.
