Adding a Bibliographic Record to Your Bank – Overview

 

 

This document will help you understand the different ways to add bibliographic records to your bank.

 

Search for a matching bibliographic record in your bank

Always search your online catalog for the record. If you locate a matching cataloging record, add an additional item to the matching bibliographic record.

 

Search for a matching bibliographic record at your DASite  (optional)

If you can’t locate a matching bibliographic record in your bank, you can copy a bibliographic record from other districts in your DASite.

 

Search the INFOhio Union Catalog

If you can’t locate a matching bibliographic record in your bank, you can export the record from the INFOhio Union Catalog, which contains over a million records and is updated daily.

 

Copy a record from the Library of Congress

If you can’t locate a matching bibliographic record in the INFOhio Union Catalog, you can download the record from the Library of Congress.

 

Submit an OCLC Record Request

If you can’t locate a matching bibliographic record in the INFOhio Union Catalog or the Library of Congress, you can utilize the OCLC Record Request procedure. This will result in a brief bibliographic record that will be placed in your bank immediately. A full bibliographic record will replace the brief record, when the request is filled by INFOhio staff.
