Bound-Withs

Background
There is only one method for creating new records for bound-withs in Alma that will work under the OCLC master record approach adopted by CSU libraries.
Policy Statement
When creating new bound-with records, CSU libraries must follow the method described in Bound-withs: Creating a Host Bibliographic Record. This is the only method that will ensure linking information is stored in the IZ and protected from overlay. Host bibliographic records, including those created during migration, should be suppressed in order to avoid confusing displays in Primo.
Alternate methods
Other methods for creating bound-with records may be suggested in Ex Libris documentation. These suggested methods will not work in our shared network environment, as linking 77X fields added to NZ records will be deleted when an overlay is triggered by an update to the OCLC master record in WorldCat.
Suppression
Host bibliographic records in the IZ should be suppressed. This helps prevent confusing displays in Primo. Follow this procedure for Host Bibliographic record suppression.
