[LM_NET] FOLLETT Circulation TEMP merging Marcs DANGER!!!

["B. Waters" <billlibrary@YAHOO.COM>]

To all you users of Follett...be aware.  Do NOT merge a TEMP record with an 
existing record, or both will be deleted when temp item is checked in!
   
  I had a full MARC record for my encyclopedia set with 26 volumes attached.  When 
checking out, I discovered a volume that was not in database.  I added as TEMP as I 
was in a hurry (no time for the permament option).  Later I went back and merged 
the records thinking I could easily update the copy information.  Then, the 
encyclopedia was checked in and the whole marc record was deleted.  OOPS!  All of 
this was my fault and probably not a common problem,  but it can happen!  Now I 
have 26 volumes to re-attach to a new marc record!
