Records may be merged in the web interface when they are suggested by the system.  Otherwise, ISNI members must use the WinIBW client to merge duplicate records.  Members can not determine in advance which record will be retained by the system when records are merged.  This is especially important when more than one assigned-status record is merged.  One must wait until after the merge is completed to see which ISNI is retained as the canonical ISNI number for the identity.
