Holdings Records Cataloging Guide
Holdings records provide copy-specific information on the library resource (status, call number, source of acquisition, shelf location, etc). This table represents the default data on embedded holdings in Koha version 3.4, along with OSA adaptations, and instructions for the cataloger. This information can be used also for migration or importing data purposes.
