Withdrawal
Where an item is withdrawn from publication it is removed from the index and from navigation. Withdrawal does not delete the underlying record, which continues to be held under the class above.
A withdrawn item carries a retention marker on any hard copy taken of it.
Withdrawal reference for the 2021 review: RT-0114.
