Maintaining Your Catalog

Various features in Polaris help you maintain your catalog and ensure that the records in your database are accurate and current. An export utility lets you export records to report your library’s holdings to OCLC or to a consortium. You can easily identify records without links by automatically creating a record set. Records that are no longer used can be deleted immediately, or marked for deletion and removed from the database in batch at a later date. To maintain your authority records, you can subscribe to a weekly update service that checks your existing authority records, matches them to updated records from the Library of Congress, and provides the records to be imported. For more information, see Setting Up Import Profiles and Importing Records.
