Implications and caveats

Severity: Warning Usually occurs when there is more than one collection with the same collection code or collection ID. The collection will not be associated with the records they have provided. Searching via the collection name will not find the records.

Data custodian recommendations

If the collection has been previously registered with the ALA, ensure the correct collection code is given. If this is a new collection, contact the data management team to ensure the collection details have been correctly registered.
