This LibGuide has three parts:

• Add single-part item holdings
• Add multipart item holdings
• Edit holdings

* For information on adding, duplicating and sorting item records, please see this guide.

1. Go to the List of Holdings.
2. Click on the Add New Holdings link to create a new basic holding record.

4. You will notice the error message. This is because the 852 field has not been populated yet. Also, the Info tab at the bottom of the page provides a link to the LC specification for the current field.
5. The call number classification scheme used in the holding record is based on the collection. Determine whether the call number in the holding record should be constructed using Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress Classification using the Classification by Collection table.
6. The 852 field can be updated as follows:
   1. Use the first indicator to specify the call number classification scheme. According to the LC specification:
      1. 0 is used for LC classification
      2. 1 is used for Dewey Decimal Classification.
   2. For monographs, the second indicator is set to blank as indicated by the hash symbol.
   3. To edit the subfields, with the mouse cursor on the 852 field click on the Edit > Open Form Editor.

1. 4. Use subfields b & c in the 852 field to specify the library and shelving location codes.
      1. Subfield b contains the specific library code. In this example, we shall select Main Stacks from the dropdown list.
      2. Subfield c contains the shelving location code. In this example, we shall select Stacks Non-circulating from the dropdown list.
   5. Next enter the call number.
      1. In subfield h, enter the Classification Part.
      2. In subfield i, enter the Item Part.
      3. If a Call Number Prefix is needed it is entered in subfield k.
