This shelving location is used for any data that has a location and/or item type (or combination of the two) that is not represented in the translation table delivered to OCLC (may be a new or existing location).

If checked, any data in the ILS columns in that row will not migrated to WMS (the WMS columns are blank).

The four-character code assigned by OCLC that identifies a branch library (distinct from the three-character OCLC symbol). Your OCLC Implementation Manager can supply the holding library codes for your institution.

Use to indicate where this data comes from in your ILS. Source locations can have descriptive text in the header row, but must identify the tag and subfield in the format ‘nnn $s’. Any source columns containing only descriptive text will be ignored. For example, 950 $a.

If checked, indicates a new shelving location to be created (WMS columns are filled in), but no data will be migrated into it (ILS columns are blank).

The Branch and Shelving Location are displayed together in WorldCat Local. Keep this in mind as you create your shelving locations, to avoid redundancy. Do not record temporary status locations (e.g. Book Repair, At Bindery, In Processing) in your translation table. Shelving locations cannot exceed 150 characters or contain an ampersand (&) or a double dash (–).

You can set your interlibrary loan deflection policy during migration. Byte 20 in the 008 field of the local holdings record (LHR) can be set to these values:

• a: will lend (overrides deflection policy set in the Policies Directory)
• b: will not lend (overrides deflection policy set in the Policies Directory)
• u: unknown (LHR is ignored; deflection policy in the Policies Directory is used instead)
  • If there are no policies in the Policies Directory, the request goes to your ILL department.
  • If you change an item's shelving location after migration (for example, from b to u), you must also update its LHR.

For more information, see 008/20.

You can set your interlibrary loan reproduction policy during migration. Byte 21 in the 008 field of the local holdings record (LHR) can be set to these values:

• a: will reproduce (overrides reproduction policy set in the Policies Directory)
• b: will not reproduce (overrides reproduction policy set in the Policies Directory)
• u: unknown (LHR is ignored; reproduction policy in the Policies Directory is used instead)
  • If there are no policies in the Policies Directory, the request goes to your ILL department.
  • If you change an item's shelving location after migration (for example, from b to u), you must also update its LHR.
