11. Copy the barcode and discharge it using Voyager Circulation to make sure it is no longer charged out.  DO NOT REMOVE THE WITHDRAWAL STATUS WHEN IT ASKS YOU (Click “No”.)

1. Open Voyager Cataloging and Circulation

2. In Cataloging, select the record menu, and then search by call number or title.

3. Click on “Get hldgs” to get the MFHD for the item.
