Duplicate of a same item record can be merged together.
A bibliographic records merge allows you to transfer all the information in one place. Acquisition and item details (e.g. barcode, check out history, item cost) are all saved in the new record.
During the process, you will have the possibility to choose information from each record and customize the MARC content of the final record.
Only the primary record is saved. All other records will be deleted after the merge.
