The availability of a specific publication may easily be checked in the Detailed title record information via the "Holdings" tab below the bibliographical data.
Please Note: In the tabs "Holdings overview" and "Holdings map" informations about holdings and libraries can only be evaluated and displayed if the data is available in standardized format (e. g. holdings in machine readable format, geographic coordinates for the map representation of libraries).
Tab "Holdings"
The holdings of all libraries in which the publication is available are listed in the "Holdings" tab (independent of standardized data). Sorting by library name is the default. Alternatively, you can sort by interlibrary loan region or ISIL. "Display all holding information" will display the holdings of all libraries in question, while clicking the button "Holdings" on the right side of each line will inform you about the holdings of a chosen library. In the stock data the label “holdings” presents non-standardized stock history data.
A click on the i-icon in the middle of the row will display the library on a geographical map and the respective contact details.
Tab "Holdings overview"
You can easily see where specific volumes and editions of publications are available via the "Holdings overview" tab. Libraries and holdings are only displayed if the data is in standardized format.
The holdings of each library are displayed as a separate timeline. The grey sections represent years with available holdings, while the white sections represent years without holdings.
By default the ten libraries with the richest holdings are displayed. You may add more libraries with the menu "Selected libraries" .
Tab "Holdings map"
The holdings map informs about the geographical distribution of holdings of a specific title. When using the timeline, libraries and holdings are only displayed if the data is in standardized format.
Entries with alphabetical characters represent single libraries which are also present in the list on the right side of the map. Entries with numbers represent the appropriate number of libraries. By a click on such an entry a list of libraries represented by this entry will be displayed. You can change the content by zooming in or out or scrolling the timeline. Via a library in the list on the right of the map you can display the library on a geographical map and get access to the corresponding contact details.
