EDITING A COPY HOLDINGS RECORD

Reference Level

Adding or Editing Title-Level Information

Catalog status codes

a = in process (including on order and received but not cataloged)
h = cataloging completed
x = all copies withdrawn or otherwise inactive (e.g., record to be deleted).

Copy status codes

0 = single piece (item not yet received)
1 = single piece (item received)
2 = multi-piece, incomplete
3 = multi-piece, complete

If the item is a multi-piece work (categories 2 and 3) a MARC holdings record needs to be created in addition to the copy holdings record.

Note: The Task Force on Cornell Implementation of the USMARC Holdings Format has decided that copy status codes "0" and "l" indicate that no MARC holdings record would be made, unless the piece requires an 852 |z note; copy status codes "2" and "3" indicate that a MARC holdings record needs to be created. For example, a single-volume with an accompanying map would have copy status code "3".
