Quick batch for holdings actions

You can batch-process setting or deleting holdings using OCLC numbers only without the system having to download the records to your workstation:

1. Click Batch > Holdings by OCLC Number.
2. In the Batch Holdings by OCLC Number window, enter a list of OCLC numbers, each on a separate line.
   Or
   In the Input File of OCLC Numbers field, enter the full path and file name of a file you prepared, or click Browse to locate the file and then click Import.
3. Click OK to start batch processing right away.
    Note: You must process the numbers immediately. The client does not store them.

To prepare an import file:

• Create a text file (file extension *.txt) in a text editor such as Notepad, entering each OCLC number on a separate line.
  Or
• Output a text file of OCLC numbers from your local system.

 Note: Enter the numbers only. The system ignores any characters preceding the OCLC numbers, such as an index label (no:), an asterisk (*), a number sign (#), or a prefix such as ocm. Import the file in the client Batch Holdings by OCLC Number window, as described in step 1 of the procedure above.
