Changing Multiple Items

This tool allows you to make changes to multiple items at one time. The main limitation is that the tool can only be used on one bib record at a time. Some of the potential uses are:

• changing the item status or item process status of multiple items on one bib record
• moving items to a new holdings record (i.e., sending a series of journals or serials to LSA or OCC)

Steps:

1. In the Items module, highlight one of the items you wish to change.



2. Click .



3. The Items List for Binding window will pop up on your screen:
   
   
   
   Highlight the items you want to change and click to move the items to the right-hand portion of the window.
   
   



4. Click .



5. The Global Changes window will appear on your screen. This form allows you to enter the information you wish to change, such as:
   
   • HOL link
   • Item Status
   • Item Process Status
   • Temp Location (you can remove or add Temp Location check marks using this option)
   
   
   
   



6. Once you have entered your changes, click



7. A confirmation window will appear
   
   
   
   Click .



8. The Items List for Binding window will appear again, but simply click the X to close the window and accept the changes.
   
   
9. The Items list will not immediately show the changes you've made. To see these changes, open one of the items and click. Once the screen refreshes, the changes you made will be visible.
