Why local holdings records?

• Local Holdings helps you maintain accurate,
  current holdings information to support ILL for
  materials in any format
• WorldCat local holdings records now conform to
  the MARC 21 Format for Holdings Data (aka MFHDs)
• You can indicate item-specific copying and
  lending policies and scope of coverage for your
  library's holdings

When ?

• OCLC has converted Local Data Records (LDRs) to
  MARC 21 Format For Holdings Data (MFHD) in
  December 2005
• On Sunday, February 19, OCLC migrated its old
  union list service to the new local holdings
  maintenance service in the browser version of
  Connexion. You can start using the service now!
• OCLC will develop new offline local holdings
  products sometime after the migration

  records (LHRs) in WorldCat through batch

  of your choice, or you may update with a one-time
  batch project and then maintain your LHRs online
  through the Connexion browser.
