About global knowledge base editing
Global collections and titles are available to all knowledge base users.
- Some global-title data is the same for all libraries, for example, the title name. The title name is a global field.
- Likewise, some global-title data is unique to individual libraries, for example, journal coverage values. Journal coverage values are a local field. In WorldShare Collection Manager libraries can edit both global and local fields.
Edits to global fields will be applied for all libraries and edits to local fields will be visible only to your library.
Be cautious when editing global knowledge base collections. When you edit a global field, you will be prompted to review your changes. Once you save the changes, the system will automatically apply your edit globally. Choose to edit a global field if you believe it will benefit all libraries.
Caution: Global changes may be overwritten by a subsequent provider load if the title is an OCLC-cataloged record.
Campos de título
See the table for details about the global and local title-level fields available for editing:
However, not all edits are appropriate to extend for all libraries. For example, library-specific URLs will not benefit other libraries. For more information, see Best practices for cooperative edits.

For more information about using KBART files, see KBART values and formatting.
After you have uploaded your KBART you will see an Upload Preview that allows you to review your edits and approve, discard, or cancel the upload. Once you apply your changes and select Approve Upload, edits will be available in the respective global and local fields.
Note: When editing collections via a KBART file, all of the column headers must be present and in a specific order. Use a file from the knowledge base as a template, not the order shown in the tables below.
