DOCLINE -- Send holdings to OCLC from SERHOLD

Question: If my library participates in OCLC and reports serial holdings in DOCLINE, how do I authorize NLM to send a copy of my library's holdings records to OCLC?

Answer:

- On the DOCLINE navigation bar, select Institutions.
- On the DOCLINE sub navigation bar, select Membership and then Serial Holdings.
- The Batch Update Authorization field has a drop down list of values. The default is "No Authorization Given". Change field to equal "Send Holdings to OCLC".
- Under Organization ID of there is no value in the OCLC Symbol 1 field, input your OCLC Symbol.
- If you have values in OCLC Symbol 2 and/or OCLC Symbol 3, remove them. Holdings will only map to one OCLC Symbol.
- Regional DOCLINE Coordinators will provide assistance with questions on this topic.
- A listing of Regional DOCLINE Coordinators is located at the bottom of the SERHOLD Fact Sheet (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/serhold.html).
