Relinking of Holding/s courtesy emails

If you have relinked another College's Holding/s records from one BIB record to another BIB record, then as a matter of courtesy please send an email to the cataloguing contact staff of the college/s affected by your relinking. Please see the previous posting for the contacts list.

In this email state that you have relinked their holdings, quote the BIB number of the record the Holding/s was/were attached to, and the BIB number they are now attached to. The email should contain ....

In the subject field: Notice of relinking holdings
CC to Michael Targowski (michael.targowski@swantafe.wa.edu.au)
In the body of the email ....

Please be advised that your holding/s attached to BIB record number [insert BIB record number of the old record]
has been relinked to BIB record number [insert BIB record number of the new record]

Didn't we all agree to add the old bib number into the 035 field as well? That way we can still use the old bib number to retrieve items.

Yes we did agree to adding the old BIB number to tag 035 when relinking. But this posting was just to do with the courtesy email aspect. Do you want me to add a new post to do with the entire process of relinking records?
