Hi Christine,

How are you identifying reading levels in your system? Typically, this information would be included in the MARC record, not in the copy information, so you would just need to make sure that the relevant MARC field is included in the records you are importing. I believe it's the 521 field, but I'm not a cataloger so I might be a little off on that.

However, I was thinking that your library might be using reading level as a copy statistical category? If so, I don't believe there is any way you can set the stat cat in the Vandelay holding import profiles. It would be a nice feature, though.

Hi All,

I have a question for any libraries that are working with Holding Import Profiles for batch overlay of records/copies. I can't find a method of setting a default Reading Level for the created items; how do other libraries solve this problem?

Any help welcome,
