This procedure explains step-by-step what will happen when RSA is ready to upgrade a brief item to an OCLC record with full bibliographic description. RSA will place a copy-level hold on the item, catalog it on an OCLC record within 14 business days of the RSA cataloger picking it up from the RAILS East Peoria office, and then RSA will return the item in delivery. An RSA Help Desk case will be created to track the upgrade of the brief record and communicate with the library during this process.
