Notes
- It doesn't matter which record gets the 77A field. The system will merge the records according to criteria outlined in the WinIBW manual. The cataloger cannot determine which record is retained.
- For more details, see section 4.1 of the WinIBW manual.
- Merges are processed twice a day by the system.
- It is possible to have more than one 77A in a record to merge multiple records.
- Add linking fields, such as related person or organization, only after the merge has completed. Otherwise, the links (which rely on the PPN) may be broken.
