 For batch withdrawals of single volume monographs we receive either a text file barcodes or an Excel spreadsheet of the single volume monographs to be withdrawn.

1. We import the text file or Excel spreadsheet into Microsoft Access.
2. We perform a query or queries to verify that the data is as expected. (Looking for things such as unexpected multi-volume monographs, serials, items checked out, etc.)
3. Once verified that the data is as expected, we delete the item records using a Perl script or Gary Strawn's Location Changer.
4. We use Harvest to pull the MFHDs and use MARCEdit to follow the manual withdrawal steps for holdings described above. (Leader position 5 changed to "d" and an 852 subfield x note "Withdrawn....".
5. We used Gary Strawn's Record Reloader or a Perl script to replace the holdings with the revised versions.
6. We use Harvest to pull copies of the bibs and add a 948 batch withdrawal statistics.
   For example: 948 2_ $a 20151212 $b w $d batch $e lts
   
7. We use Voyager's bulk import function to replace the bib using the bulk import code BIBMAINT.
8. If it is the last copy for CUL, then we suppress those bibs using the bulk import code BIBSUP.
9. We then rerun the Access query to verify that holdings are suppressed and the items deleted.
