Re: [IUG] multiple location fields in bib records

We had a similar problem.   We had to call III and they cleaned it up.
Could not figure out why it happened,  seemed a bit random.

Subject: [IUG] multiple location fields in bib records

While surveying our serials records, I have come across a number of
bibliographic records with multiple location fields (25+ lines) embedded
in the bib record.  These do not display to the public (showing only the
correct four locations), but are visible in the bib.  If I attempt to
edit the location field in the bib record, only the correct number of
locations display (w/the location field reading "multi" - as per usual).
I do not know how to address this problem.  

We are part of a consortium, and I think - though I do not know for
certain - that may have something to do with the problem.  Is it
possible that this may have occurred when overlaying bibs?

Any ideas?  I have not yet placed a call with III.

Thanks,
