Convert Existing Holdings
What do you do with your existing holdings statements that might be in 866 fields or non-MARC LIB HAS fields? You can leave them as they are, or you can convert them to MARC format. There is way to do this in batch, however. You will have to convert these fields one by one if you want full MARC holdings.

Millennium Serials displays your existing holdings as regular variable-length fields in the Holdings tab in the OPAC view and the Selected Range area. You can have a combination of MARC holdings fields (853/863) and Textual holdings fields (866). The textual fields will always display first in the Web OPAC.

To convert your existing holdings, you have to define a caption and pattern field for the serial, add new ranges to replace the existing holdings, and then delete the existing holdings field.

The example below shows how you might use the Holdings editor to re-create the holdings range of this record, "converting" it to MARC and then deleting the original 866 field. It also shows a "textual" 866 field that will remain in the record.




Create an existing textual holdings field to a MARC holdings statement.
