Adding an issue to the holdings receipt history in Inventory


1. There is currently As of February 2024, there is no direct connection between the the Receiving and Inventory apps. In order for issues to be publicly displayed in Blacklight and discoverable by patrons, they must also be added to the Receiving history in the holdings record through the Inventory app.

...

5. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click Add receiving history.

6.  CopyCopy/paste or type caption from the Receiving app into the enumeration/chronology fields in the holding’s holdings Receiving historyThe Public display toggle should be checked, since we are only adding current issues of a serial to the Receiving history (this is a similar function to the Display in OPAC column in Voyager Acquisitions).


NOTE:  The current functionality (as of May 2021) As of November '22, the functionality requires us to list publicly displayed issues in ascending order by chronology and NOT the order in which issues are received. The most recent issues should be listed at the bottom.

Adding a completed volume to holdings

1. When all issues in a volume have been received, the holdings statement should be updated to include the completed volume (similar to how we add a volume to the holdings record in Voyager once it’s complete).

2. To do so, make sure you’re in edit mode by clicking Actions at the top right corner of the screen in the holdings record and select Edit. 

3. Scroll to the Holdings statement and add the completed volume. Click Save & close.

NOTE: The Holdings statement should be consolidated to as few lines as possible. Separate lines should only be created for incomplete volumes and changes in enumeration/chronology (ex. going from Arabic to Roman numerals, new series, etc.).


4. Once you’ve added the volume to the holdings statement, delete the publicly displayed issues by clicking the trashcan(s) to the right of the enum./chron. field(s). There’s no need to uncheck the Public display box, since you’re deleting the lines. Note that publicly displayed issues will only be populating this field.



...

1. From the Instance record, click on Add item.



2. Fill in relevant information including Barcode , and Material type (required) and Copy number (this will generally be 1 for serials).


3. Scrolling down will bring you to Permanent loan type which is also a required field.


4. Do not fill in the Location fields, either Permanent or Temporary. Simply leave the drop-down menus as "Select location," which is the equivalent to blank. Selecting a location other than the holdings record location selected may corrupt the location that's printed on the spine label and how it appears in Blacklight, which is why it is best to leave these fields blank.


5. When done filling in the appropriate fields, click Save and close.



6. From the Instance record, clicking Chronology in the Item records display will allow you to sort chronologically. This will allow you to see the item record you just created.



NOTE: An alternative to adding a new item record from scratch is to duplicate an existing item record and edit the enumeration/chronology to match the volume you are creating an item record for.
