How to make new records

If you can't find a suitable record to edit in Worldshare Record Manager, you can create a new one.

In the Record Manager sidebar, click Create Record.

The pop-up menu should have Bibliographic Record, MARC 21 View, RDA and Book selected. Select Books standard in the Constant Data Record Name dropdown menu (this will populate the fixed fields with a standard template and add in the open shelves exporting string).

Complete the MARC record, then follow the instructions for finishing a record.

You can also save in-progress records to come back and work on later. Go to Save > In-Progress Record.

A pop-up will show with the save file number.

To find the record again, use the search box in the Record Manager sidebar and select Saved - In Progress from the Scope dropdown menu. You can search for title or save file number. You can also search for * (an asterisk) to bring up all in-progress records (but please note that this brings up all in-progress records, not just Wellcome ones).
