Objectives • Learn the concept of Local Holdings Maintenance • Understand the structure of a Local Holdings Record • Successfully interpret Local Holdings Record information • Create institution-specific Local Holdings Records
What Are Local Holdings? Creating Local Holdings is a means by which libraries describe their changing collections. The service allows institutions to create, maintain, and display online their summary-level holdings.
Why Create Local Holdings? • Provides copy-specific data of the library's serials • Supports collection development by making all aspects of the collection known • Provides finding tools for the library's local patrons, staff and remote users • Supports consortial activities, including but not limited to interlibrary loan and cooperative collection development and acquisition
How Do I Access This? • Connexion browser • http://connexion.oclc.org • Cataloging Authorization and Password • Union Listing authorizations have been converted to cataloging authorizations to allow access to Connexion • Don’t know your authorization? Call the SOLINET Member Services Help Desk
Searching in Connexion Browser • Command Line • Derived searching • Keyword/Numeric • Language • Source • Years • Format • Microform • Internet
LHM Searching Elements • Show Local Holdings limiter • Holdings dropdown • Any • Institution Holdings • My Local Holdings • Group Holdings • Group Local Holdings
Holdings Dropdown Options • Any – no limits on what records show in search results • Institution Holdings – will only show bibliographic records in the search results where your library owns the item • My Local Holdings – will only show records in the search results where your library’s local holdings are attached • Group Holdings – will show bibliographic records in the search results where at least one member of a group (that you’ve chosen to search) owns the item • Group Local Holdings – will show bibliographic records in the search results where at least one member of a group (that you’ve chosen to search) has attached local holdings
