Because of procedures for contributing records to the SUNY Union Catalog,
there can be no use of the STA field in bibliographic records beyond the
following. The use of approved text in the STA field is explained in the
context of workflow.

1. Last public copy is withdrawn.

Item Process Status code: WD
STA field in bib record: WITHDRAWN

Use WITHDRAWN for material in all formats including online.

2. There are no public copies, or we do not want the record to appear in the
OPAC for a reason other than the last public copy has been withdrawn.

Item record is not affected.
STA field in bib record: SUPPRESSED
Holdings record is not affected.

3. The bib record is a duplicate, it was passed from OCLC in error, or it
is not needed for some other reason.

If necessary, any item and holding records have been moved to a different
bib record.
STA field in bib record: FOR DELETION
Holdings record is deleted from server (Ctrl+r) or click icon).

The text in the STA field must be uppercase.

Note that DELETED should never be used, since the result is that record is
retrievable only by system number. Nor should one delete a bib record from
the server.
