Here are the most common questions recently answered by Customer Support!

Expand
title I need to import a MARC file from a vendor. How should I set the default settings?

When importing files from a vendor, the correct default settings will already be set, and you can simply select “Run.” If you have a custom import or specific needs when updating your titles or copies, we recommend calling Customer Support for assistance.


Expand
title I have more than one title record of some books–can I combine records?

Yes! To clean up duplicate records, run a Title Information report, and set the sorting in Options to “Title.” Then navigate to Items Management, and look up the titles. Decide which record you want to keep, then unlock the record. Using the Actions menu, select “Move copies to title” and enter the copy barcodes. You can also select the checkbox to delete the duplicate title record after the copies are transferred. Make sure to save changes!

titleI am requesting a budget for next year. How much is my current catalog worth?

Reports found under Collection Analysis can be used for this purpose. The entire collection value is included in the Brief Analysis report. You can also run the Super Summary report, which shows the entire collection values broken down by call number ranges. The Copy Information report (detailed option) shows the copy values and funding sources.
