Holdings records best practices

Holdings records in Alma contain data about where to locate specific items within our libraries. Every holdings record is linked to a single bibliographic record; every item record is linked to a single holdings record. Holdings records may also have attached POLs (order records). Holdings records are created and modified within the Metadata Editor (MDE).
