[Wactclc-alma] Interesting issue with "duplicate" method of serials check-in

[Dale Burke]

Thanks Shellie,

I am still working out how to get my set of records.  I can find the item's
barcodes by doing a search in Analytics, but I am not sure whether or not I
can turn a result set from Analytics into a set that I can run in Alma.

Also, I am wanting to know if there is anything that I can do so that the
"Duplicate" functionality correctly records that "Item Policy".
