up in your search, to make sure they’re duplicates. I make the record I just worked on the preferred record, and go down the search list, copying and pasting the OCLC numbers in the request form. I also try to consolidate the records, so that no good information
is lost (not including local notes). If I’m in doubt as to whether a record is a duplicate, I leave it alone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
