There could be rare cases when brief bibliographic records created to track inventory locally are allowed to reside in the IZ rather than the NZ at the member library’s discretion. Criteria to consider when making this decision include: do the brief records contain the minimum elements required for In-Process Brief Bib Records, or would addition to the NZ negatively impact member libraries’ ability to upgrade and maintain records. Excessively brief records may make it difficult to identify and select a resource and they may inadvertently hide relevant material in Primo search results, negatively impacting our users.
