    Question

    What is the general logic of merge rules in Alma? Which record is the preferred record?

    Answer

    In import profiles or when importing a record from OCLC Connexion, the local record is the preferred record
    In copy cataloging (cataloging from an external search resource, e.g. WorldCat) the incoming record is the preferred record.
