<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all,</div><div><br></div><div>I could use some advice. <br></div><div><br></div><div>We have our catalogers use CONS as their search library so they can find all records, with and without items, when they need to catalog their own items.</div><div><br></div><div>However, the public services staff use their own library as a search library, and that's where we run into staff confusion.</div><div><br></div><div>When they run into a bib record with no items, they report that to us as an error.
<div>When they are searching in their own library, they expect to only retrieve records with their items.</div><div><br></div>
I'm trying to come up with a succinct explanation for why they see those records. I do assure them that their public does not see the "empty" records, that they only appear in the staff catalog. Can someone share with me the official reason for why these records display?</div><div><br></div><div>I wish there were some way to prevent them from coming up in their searches.<br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Mary Llewellyn<br></div>Database Manager<br></div>Bibliomation, Inc.<br></div>24 Wooster Ave.<br></div>Waterbury, CT 06708<br></div><a href="mailto:mllewell@biblio.org" target="_blank">mllewell@biblio.org</a><br></div></div></div>
