NLS' Foreign Language Collections area has recently been reviewing the collection and has withdrawn a number of early DBF/RCF titles.
If you use
Gutenberg, these files have been or will be pulled from your device. To prevent errors, you need to withdraw these titles ASAP, ensuring that they do not end up in any duplication orders.
If you use
Scribe, and/or have any
physical copies of these titles, the files will not disappear on you--but we still advise you to withdraw the titles in accordance with NLS.
To withdraw a title:
1. Set the Title Status to "Withdrawn."
2. Remove all Subject Headings
and the Series heading (if present).
3. (If using Gutenberg) Delete the eDoc.
If you think a title may be circulating via Duplication, I also recommend following these steps in the Patron module:
1. Use the Reports - Items & Titles -
Patrons with Queued Title report to find any patrons with the withdrawn title in their Service Queue or pending Duplication Orders.
2. For any Service Queues with the withdrawn title, either select and delete it, or use the Sanitize function to remove it without needing to find it in the list.
3. For any Duplication Orders with the withdrawn title:
- Cancel the order
- Return titles to Service Queue
- Sanitize Queue or find and delete the withdrawn title
For more information on handling withdrawn titles, or why I recommend these steps, check out this
article on Withdrawn Titles
. If you have questions, or need steps for withdrawing physical items, please contact Customer Support.
