What Are Local Holdings?
Creating Local Holdings is a means by
which libraries describe their changing
collections. The service allows
institutions to create, maintain, and
display online their summary-level
holdings.
Why Create Local
Holdings?
• Provides copy-specific data of the library's
serials
• Supports collection development by making all
aspects of the collection known
• Provides finding tools for the library's local
patrons, staff and remote users
• Supports consortial activities, including but
not limited to interlibrary loan and cooperative
collection development and acquisition
