    Cause

    MARC record has different encoding than Voyager is expecting.

    Resolution

    1. In Acquisitions > Tools > Workflows > Searching tab, under "Bibliographic Staff Searching/Import" section, change the Character Set Mapping for Local Import to match the encoding of the record you are trying to import.
    2. Click OK
    3. Add line item and import record again.
