    OPAC shows all 65 volumes of analyzed series as being on Reserve

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20

    Problem Symptoms:
    A professor has put bib record 002998143 on Course Reserves. This is an analyzed title of the serial "FFCommunications" (bib record 000008386).

    It shows in OPAC under course JAPA111-SZM, with the title "FF Communications", with all 65 volumes, instead of just the 002998143 (child) record.

    Cause:
    The xxx30 doc record was linked to the parent record (000008386) rather than the specific child record. (See Additional Information below.)

    Resolution:
    In the xxx50 Course Reserves, call up the Doc List for the course, do "Remove doc" for the 000008386 record(s) and then Search for the 002998143 bib record and link to that.
