BOOK MARKING FOR MONOGRAPHS

Processing Physical Items Procedures

    PROCEDURE

    It is necessary to mark cataloged items to ensure proper labeling. Mark books in pencil.

    1. Location--Consult CPM500 short list (CLIO locations used for ordering and cataloging) to translate the Voyager location code into text. For example, glx should be transcribed on the t.p. verso as Butlstax. (If location in CLIO or T2 is not on the short list, consult supervisor)

    2. Reading Room Location--Consult Reading Room Processing Chart . Use the spine label column in the chart for t.p verso text. Note that some locations should be transcribed on two lines.

    3. Write each element of a call number on a separate line. If in doubt, consult supervisor.

    4. If a call number already present on t.p. verso, e.g., the book has come from Pre Cat, line through the first call number.

    5. If the location has a reference sublocation, and the primary locations is other than eax or uts, transcribe the primary location as listed in CPM-500 and write REF in parentheses directly after the primary location. (In these cases REF will not print on the spine label or binding slip).

    6. If locations eax (location "eal" should be processed according to point V above) or uts have a reference sublocations transcribe exactly as listed in CPM-500. For these locations the term REF will print on spine labels and binding slips.

    7. Avery catalogers will transcribe (RESERVES) next to the main location if the book in hand will be in Avery's permanent reserves collection. Avery and Fine Arts books classed in Library of Congresss classification should have Avery-LC transcribed on the t.p. verso.

    8. Transcribe any caption terms for multivolume works using appropriate term.
