MARC Cataloging: Deletion of Bibliographic Records

Deletion of Bibliographic Records

Overview

There are three types of records that can be deleted from Barton. The first type is an on-order/brief record, the second is a full bibliographic record lacking a copyset, and the third is a full bibliographic record with a copyset. In all cases, any items attached to these records must be deleted before the bibliographic record can be deleted. Once the items are deleted, the process for deleting the on-order/brief record, and the full bibliographic record differ.

The on-order/brief record has its attached items deleted in Barton, and then has its bibliographic record deleted directly in Barton. On the other hand, the full bibliographic record lacking a copyset has its attached items deleted in Barton, but its bibliographic record is NOT deleted in Barton, but in OCLC by the <DELH> command. The <DELH> command in OCLC will delete the bibliographic record in Barton during the next day’s load of records from OCLC to Barton. The full bibliographic record with a copyset has its copyset deleted in Barton, and after waiting for the overnight Barton processing to delete the copyset, it is deleted in OCLC via the <DELH> command.

NOTE: Now that the items have been deleted, you need to delete the bibliographic record from OCLC via the <DELH> command, which in turn will delete the full bibliographic record in Barton the following day.

The easiest way to access the record in OCLC is via the OCLC control number, which is located in the 035 field of the BIBLIOGRAPHIC MARC CATALOGING record below. (If there are multiple 035 fields, choose the first 035 field: always verify that the record that you retrieve in OCLC is the same record that you want deleted.)
