Chapter 4. SELECTION LISTS
Uploading MARC Records
You can upload MARC records for titles you wish to add to the Selection List.
NOTE: If the MARC records to be uploaded include location and/or material type information, you can map the external locations (see MARC Location Mapping on page 28 for details) and material type (see MARC Material Type Mapping for details) to the corresponding values in your VERSO system. When location or material type information included in an uploaded record matches a defined location or material type map, the defined default location or material type (see Setting Defaults for Selection Lists for details) will be ignored, and the mapped location or material type will be used for the associated record.
To upload a MARC records file:
-
From the Title Management screen for the desired Selection List (see
Adding Titles to a Selection List for details), click the

button.
