Excluding All Boundwith Records from Bibliographic Records with No Inventory set

When cleaning up records with no inventory, boundwith records should be excluded. If you have an all titles set of bibliographic records with no inventory (All titles, Has Inventory=no), you can use the combine sets feature (use the NOT operator) to exclude boundwith records.

  • Go to Alma -> Manage Sets.

  • Find your All titles set of bibliographic records with no inventory.

  • Click on the Actions button and select Combine sets.

  • In the General Information section, name your new itemized set.

  • In the Combine sets section select the NOT operator.

  • With: search for your set created in step 5 above.

  • Click on Submit.

The resulting itemized set will include bibliographic records that do not have inventory and are not boundwith records.

  • Go to Alma -> Manage Sets.

  • Find the set created in step 5 above and from the Actions button, select Members.

  • Click on Tools and select Excel. It will take some time to generate the spreadsheet.

  • When the spreadsheet is generated, a prompt to save the file will appear.

  • Save the file.

  • Open the file in Excel.

  • Sort Column R (Availability). Any blank cells in that column represent a problem with a link.

  • If you have blank cells in Column R, refer to Fixing Broken Boundwith Links in Migrated Records.
