LINKING ITEM RECORDS TO ADDITIONAL BIB RECORDS using Sierra Cataloging
Linking to a single bib record (Use this procedure for those rare occasions where we must have both monographic and serial records for a title.)
1. Bring up the item record that needs to be linked. Click on the Summary tab.
2. Click on the drop down Edit menu in the upper left of your screen.
3. Highlight or click on Link to additional bib record. If the Find bib choice appears, click on that.
4. A new search screen appears. Use it to search for the bib record to which you want to link.
5. Once the correct bib record is on the screen, click on the Summary tab.
6. Look for the Use bib button toward the right of the screen. Click on it and the records link.
7. After linking, the original bib and item record display in Summary mode. Open up the item record. Look at the bottom of the screen to see that the records linked.
Linking to multiple bib records (Use this procedure when multiple monographic titles are bound together in a single volume.)
