Serials Cataloging is responsible for the summary holdings statement for each local unit in the Libraries. Serials Cataloging is responsible for changing the summary holdings statement in either the copy set or in the note field on a record lacking a copy set.
The background for this policy is that Serials Cataloging creates the summary holdings statement at the point of cataloging. Ongoing maintenance and creation of the holdings statement requires familiarity with complex holdings formats (NISO and USMARC). For efficiency in training and consistency in the holdings statement, the work is done in Serials Cataloging.
The local units may change or add notes to the copy set or to the note field in certain cases (examples below).
On a bibliographic record with a copy set, the holdings statement is located on the copy set under the phrase "Library has:", or on a bibliographic record lacking a copy set, the holdings statement is recorded in the note field.
Examples

Choose line 2 "NOTES" (from above) and the note will be highlighted for editing.
Note: Please note the subtle differences between the holdings statement "Latest only kept" (or Latest xxx year(s) only kept, etc.) and a storage retention note such as "Latest on Ref", 'Latest ed. in Barker", etc. Serials Cataloging is responsible for adding or changing the holdings statement "Latest only kept" in the note or on the copy set, as this is a holdings statement. The local units may, however, add or change the storage retention note in either the note or the copy set.
Examples
Record with a copy set:
Local Control # :10326256 TITLE :Genome / OCLC NO. :ocm15354799 CONTINUES :Canadian journal of genetics and cytology PUBLISHED :Ottawa, Canada : The Council, c1987- LIBRARY COLLECTION CALL NUMBER -------------- ----------------------------- ------------------- 1. SCIENCE JOURNAL QH.C217 Library Has: v.29:no.1 (1987:Feb.)- ; Note: Latest on Ref -----this is the storage retention note
Summary holdings statement = Note: Latest only kept
Storage retention note = Note: v.1:no.1 (1978)- / Latest on Ref
Before the local unit creates a copy set, a screen print of the brief record displaying the summary holdings statement and items attached to the record is printed out. The screen print is then forwarded to Serials Cataloging for completion of the holdings statement and linking of all items in the copy set. The local unit is not responsible for completing the summary holdings in the copy set. Any storage retention notes to be added to the copy set at this time, e.g. Latest 10 years in Barker; earlier in RSC, may be noted on the screen print for completion by Serials Cataloging. After this initial completion of the copy set in Serials Cataloging, these same storage retention notes may be added or changed by the local unit.
Serials Cataloging is responsible for ALL changes to sublocations including full transfers to RSC because of complexities associated with items linked to copysets (unlike monograph transfers where the local units may change the sublocation).
