OIS weeds the BF database once a year to insure that it contains only the most recent four years of cataloging data. LG records contain detailed information about a library's collections and services. Each Harvard library is responsible for maintenance of its LG record. Contact OIS for more information. OW contains an incomplete file of books and serials in Widener Library, cataloged primarily before 1970 and classified by the old Widener classification system.
Access is by author, title and call number.
There are no subject headings in this database. Originally 1.2 million records in size, OW has shrunk to about 5400 records because of ongoing work to upgrade and transfer records to the HU database. The RV database provides information about materials on reserve or requested for reserve. RV bibliographic records contain descriptions of reserves materials as well as course information, including course title, course number, and name of instructor. RV bibliographic records contain linked item records and RV supports the automated circulation of these items.
