1. Open the holdings record in the Metadata Editor.

 

2. Make sure the first indicator in the 852 field corresponds to the type of call number you want to copy from the bibliographic record. (For example, if you want to copy an LC call number from the bibliographic record, the first indicator in the 852 field should be set to 0.)

 

3. Click Record Actions > Update from Bibliographic.
