Records Matched, No Records Delivered. A title list of items for which a record matched but for which no bibliographic record was delivered. It includes why the record was not delivered and any vendor-provided data for the item from the vendor manifest.
No OCLC Record Found. A title list of items for which no record was found. It includes vendor-provided data for the item from the vendor manifest.
Shared Local Catalog, Records Not Delivered. A title list of items for which a record matched, but for which no bibliographic record was sent because the record already had holdings set for another member of the shared local catalog. It includes vendor-provided data for the item from the vendor manifest.
