Add the ability to move item record(s) from one bib record to another.
Occasionally one or more item records need to be attached to a different, correct bib record, This often happens with title changes for serial records. Presently we must withdraw the item record(s) from one bib record and create new ones at the correct bib record. This is very time consuming process. It would be very helpful if there was an option to select item records and transfer them from one bib record to another.

Please can we request clarification on this - would it also apply to items on monograph bib records that need to be moved, either from one Holdings to another on the same bib record, or from one bib record to another? And, will the moves be allowed if there are user Requests present on either the current bib record or the bib record that the items are being moved to, without cancelling the user requests? This is something that causes lots of problems for us. Thanks.

After reviewing this great idea, Alma Product Management has decided to update our development plans to include this suggested change. Thank you for your contribution

Yes, move item record independently from a holdings record. It would be extra great if multiple items records could be selected and moved to another bib record at the same time.

That is, move items independent from their holdings records, yes?
