Christina is right that LHRs make ILL people happy. But ours were never consistently maintained to begin with and are therefore misleading at best, and I’m also not convinced that it makes good sense to do such double-work just for the sake of ILL. We already have too many places where we are either cleaning up or doing double-work and as much as I think ILL is important, I am not sure it justifies us doing so much extra. ILL would like us to continue to do serials check-in, for example, but we stopped doing that at my direction some years ago for similar reasons.

Now I’ll go sit in my corner and prepare to duck the various objects that ILL people may wish to throw at me.

I’m on the other side of this issue because our ILL people really want that Holdings data in WorldCat.  So I do both.

Heck yeah. 
 
I’m not interested in maintaining holdings data in two places (at least) — WorldCat AND our local ILS (Voyager). There are a few local edge cases where we do but otherwise, I delete LHRs and instruct my staff to delete them whenever they come across them.

Hi,
Are there any libraries out there that add and delete holdings on titles without adding LHR (local holdings records)?  Just curious.
 
Thank you,
