    Problem Symptoms

    • Duplicate detection matches many records but sometimes fails to recognize matches during record import in Cataloging client

    Cause

    Record is being imported at a Cataloging Location that belongs to different Owning Library than existing record in database.

    Resolution

    1. Identify Owning Library of bibliographic record(s)

    3. Log into Cataloging and select a Cataloging Location that belongs to the same Owning Library.
