Hold Reports

Sept 09, 2022

To expedite the cataloging of items in the 693 Hold, we have been attempting to identify items with member copy using the following logic:

Alma record (with relevant language) has:

  • Status = Hold (693)

  • Base Status = Item not in place

  • Barcode is not null

ISBN (or OCLC number if no ISBN) is used to search against the WorldCat Search API (version 1.0, NOTE: version 2.0 is available)

Returned WorldCat record must have:

  • A numerical value in the 050 and/or 090 (unless the item is going to ReCAP)

  • Either a subject (600, 610, 611, 65x other than 653) with 2nd indicator “0” (or lcgft or aat) OR literary form(008/33) other than "0" or " "

  • Values other than “s” or “o” in 008/23 (it’s not an e-resource)
