Deriving a New Record from an Existing Record in Sierra - Video (Cataloging)

Description

This is a recording of how to edit an existing record in Sierra to create a new record.  It is important to remove the Bib Utility 001 and 003 fields.  Otherwise, there will be two records with duplicate 001 fields. One record will have the correct title, and the other will have the incorrect title. 

It is also important to replace any 020 ISN fields with the correct ones from the book you are cataloging.

This is not appropriate for things that will appear in OCLC.  Do not use this just because there is no record in OCLC yet.  You will create a duplicate when the record does appear in OCLC and someone else downloads it.  In that case it would be better to derive a new record in OCLC and then download it rather than deriving a record in Sierra.
