PROVISIONAL RECORDS FOR WRC MANUSCRIPT COLLECTIONS
WRC manuscript collections are not currently represented in LIBRIS. In an effort to represent these collections in LIBRIS, the Original Catalogers working with the WRC staff will provide a provisional record providing a brief, general description of each collection. Eventually all collections will represented in LIBRIS with full descriptive cataloging.
Information for creating provisional records is supplied to Cataloging by WRC on Archives Provisional Cataloging Form, completed in WRC except for Control No., which is completed in cataloging with system supplied control number (see below).
Click on the Title Maintenance Wizard and then click on the Add Title Wizard. Follow the procedures found in the section Creating a Provisional Record.
