WorldShare Record Manager release notes, October 2022

Display of the permanent shelving location on the LHR copies view for serials and multiparts

A new column for the permanent shelving location has been added for serial and multipart copies in the LHR text-view editor. 

 Note: This is the permanent shelving location on copy level as opposed to temporary shelving locations on item level.

Advanced action "Derive Electronic Record" no longer adds subject headings for electronic resources

OCLC staff will begin removing the genre subject headings starting with "Electronic" from WorldCat bibliographic records upon the recommendation of the cataloging community. The genre heading is not recognized as an authorized heading and many other fields are available to code those aspects of a resource.

As a result, this step has been removed from the Derive Electronic Record advanced action so that subject headings for electronic resources do not continue to be added to WorldCat bibliographic records through use of this action.

When receiving serial items a second caption in 853 was ignored

When receiving serial items a second caption in 853 was ignored and returned an error message which broke the serials receiving process in Acquisitions. Now users can add items with different captions within one LHR.

Saving an LHR that has a 852 $t field but no $h subfield returned an error

When trying to save an LHR that has a 852 $t field but no $h subfield an error occurred. Now, records that don't have a 852 $h can be saved successfully. 

Editing items with a specific serial number caused an error

When editing items with a specific serial number (e.g. 1.123) an error occurred. Now items with all serial numbers can be successfully edited.

Saving an LHR that has quotes in the 852 $h field caused an error

Saving an LHR that has quotes in the classification part of the call number (field 852 $h) caused an error. Now these LHRs can be saved correctly.

Saving an LHR that has a backslash in the item description field failed

Saving an LHR that has a backslash in the item description field failed. Now these LHRs can be saved correctly.
