Hello, This is a very stupid question but how do i change the Item count in a bibliographic record? i have two records of the same book and want to just put 2 items under one record. Is the field for that in bibliographic records or items? Thanks in advance! Linh
I'm not sure I understand completely, but I think what you want to do is delete one bib record and add a new item to the other so that there are two items attached to one bib record instead of 2 bib records with 1 items attached to each.

Actually I think Nicole's suggestion was exactly right, based on your original question:

You change the item count in a bibliographic record by attaching more items. If you have two bibliographic records which need to be consolidated into one, the only way to do that is to add one of the existing items to the record you want to keep. Then delete the extra record. There is currently no mechanism for merging bibliographic records. You didn't specify which you were using, but I can see you're using 2.x. Nicole's documentation links are for 3.0, but the general idea is the same. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
As an alternative I have a command-line script that will assign an item a different biblio and biblioitem number, then delete the MARC for the item from the old blob. To use this script run it with the itemnumber of the item and the biblio number of the record you want to move the item to. On Mon, 2009-07-06 at 07:50 -0400, Nicole Engard wrote:
