Background
The purpose of this document is to provide recommendations and general procedures for creation of holdings records for monographs and serials. Libraries may use templates provided in the Metadata Editor, but most units will probably want to create customized holdings templates to expedite the processing of similar materials. Best practices aim to ensure consistency in the encoding and display of holdings data.
