Resource Description will submit a ticket with a link to the Box folder with the spreadsheets of barcodes for the items to be withdrawn:

Box, All Files, Items to Be Withdrawn, Ready for MADS

Before withdrawing the items, you need to determine whether or not the bib records, holdings records, and OCLC holdings need to be updated. See Analyzing Bib and Holding Data for a List of Items by Barcode for an explanation of how and why to do this process.

Once the analysis is complete, withdraw the items with the process described on the page Withdrawing Titles or Items in Batch .

After withdrawing the items, move the original spreadsheet in Box to the Withdrawals Complete by MADS folder:

Box, All Files, Items to be withdrawn, withdrawals complete by MADS
