Duplicate NZ Records report

On the 2nd of every month, the WRLC Alma Network Zone creates an Analytics report listing all Network Zone bibliographic records that have duplicate OCLC numbers.

The WRLC Network Zone uses the OCLC number as our primary match point; all NZ records must have a unique OCLC number. As it says in the WRLC NZ policy Bibliographic Utilities,

OCLC is the common bibliographic utility for WRLC member libraries. The OCLC record number provides a single match point that simplifies loading, maintenance and other technical service operations in the Alma shared catalog environment.

It is therefore the responsibility of each of the WRLC institutions to review the report and edit the NZ records in this report for which they have holdings attached. Cleanup work can consist of merging both NZ records (this would require the approval of all institutions with holdings via Basecamp), or moving their holdings from one NZ record to the other. 

If you would like this report to be emailed to you each month, please send am email to servicedesk@wrlc.org to request access.
