Create a local resource

 A local resource is a physical or nonphysical item that does not belong in WorldCat or the knowledge base (e.g., membership, furniture, office supplies, technology, etc.).

 Note: A local resource cannot:

• Be changed to a WorldCat record or WorldCat knowledge base record after you order it.    
• Be deleted once it has been used to create an invoice or order item. This is true even if the local resource is removed from an invoice or order before the invoice or order is submitted.

1. Navigate to Local Resources > Local Resources.
2. Click Create Local Resource.

3. Update the following fields:

   Field	Description
   Local Resource Name (required)	Give a meaningful and unique name to avoid confusion with other local resources. Follow local practice.  Note: The local resource name must not exceed 100 characters.
   Description	Enter a brief description for the local resource (e.g., Annual ALA membership fees).
   Default Acquisition Type	Acquisition type Description One-Time (default) A local resource that is received in a single transaction. Subscription A local resource that is received on a continual basis.  Note: This will determine the default Acquisitions Type of the local resource when ordered.
   Status	Status Description Active (default) The local resource is active and you can add it to an order or purchase request. Inactive The local resource is inactive and you cannot add it to an order or purchase request. An inactive local resource will display in a search only if no other local resources match your query. If selected, its status will change to Active.  Note: Only active local resources can be ordered.
