Unfortunately there
is just no way to do OCLC with out doing it separately. Also depending on
your system, and which support software you use, you probably also will have two
local changes.
We also have Serials
Solutions. My list which I send to them with updates is in an
Excel file. I go through the list of items which are current every three
months, see if any are not arriving in checkin ( using claims in Horizon
). I use my list of recent cancellations and check if titles have
stopped. If the checkin pattern needs to be deleted for ceased items
I do that, and add an 866 field for each format we have ( microfilm,
fiche, bound ) in the bibliographic record. I change the stop date in the
Excel file. When finished with Horizon and Serials Solutions, I take
my list of changes and go to OCLC and update those records.
