Deleting a Bib Record

1. Perform an All Titles search to locate the record.

2. Click Edit Record to open the bib in the MDE.

3. Go to the Record Actions menu > select Delete Record and click Yes to confirm.

If the bib is linked to the NZ, and other libraries still have holdings, you will receive a message that the bib may not be deleted.

Go to the Record Actions menu > select Copy to Catalog. This breaks the link and copies the record contents to the IZ. Wait for the MDE to refresh, then go to the Record Actions menu > select Delete Record and click Yes to confirm.

4. The MDE should refresh with an empty workspace.
