Please keep an eye out for items on the wrong records, especially juvenile items that have series titles in them.

The problem
is that Complete Set holds skate to other records that offer Complete
Sets. That's a fine distinction with the same result."</div><div><br></div><div>Her instructions to ensure holds for TV series (and anything with parts, really) is going to target the right thing is:</div><div><br>

<div>1. Place copy holds after verifying the item is on the shelf.<br></div><div>2.
When filling holds from the pull list, make sure the title on the pull
list and the title on the box match. The barcode on the pull list and
the barcode on the box may match even though the titles don't. Only
the barcode on the pull list will fill the hold but the patron won't get
what he wants if the title on the box isn't the same as the title on
the pull list. If the title's aren't the same, don't fill the hold. You
can leave the hold to move on to the next library and hope the right
title is targeted or you can investigate. If the requesting patron is
your patron, create a copy hold for the right title. If the requesting
patron belongs to a different library, notify that library about the
problem so that they can place a copy hold.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Over time, these issues will iron out. They are fresh now and it will be a hill we'll climb. But as you always hear from me, the deduplication was an overall success. <br></div><div><br>Kate Coleman, MLIS<br></div><div>Technical Services Manager, Jefferson County Library<br></div><div>Missouri Evergreen Consortium <br></div><div>5678 State Rd.
