Significant corrections
All corrections deemed significant should be done in OCLC, not Alma alone.. A significant change is one that affects access to the record, although, on occasion, other changes may also warrant this step. The newly corrected record can either be re-exported to Alma, or changed in Alma to coincide with the OCLC record.
Holdings record
