Merge titles in the catalog

The merge function serves the same purpose as replacing a catalog title with an existing title.

Title descriptions can be merged in two ways:

Copy the correct info:

1. Search the catalog for the correct title.
2. Right-click on the title at the top of the record and select Title to clipboard.
3. Search the catalog for the title description to be replaced.
4. Right-click in the title screen and select Merge > Merge clipboard title with this title. A confirmation message appears.
5. Click Yes. The titles are merged.

From the correct title screen:

1. Open the title that you want to keep.
2. Right-click in the detail screen and select Merge. The catalog window appears.
3. Search for and select the title you want to replace and click Select. A confirmation message appears.
4. Click Yes. The titles are merged.

Keep in mind when merging that:

• The Merge function only works when the title, presentation type, and title type are the same
• If there is a subscription account for one or both titles, the accounts will be merged
• If a branch has an account under the same serial number for both titles, the serial number of one of the two will be increased
• If relationships are established for yearly related edition titles, the relationship will be lost
• When merging, the type classification Adult/Youth of both titles will be combined
