Audio & Video Cassettes

Updated 7/1/2019

Procedures:

• Mark call number in pencil on cassette label. If there is no label, use a permanent marker (Sharpie brand)
• For Property Marking:
• On a Binding and Preservation Services Advice Slip, write:
• "Please property stamp cassette".
• If softbound, it can be bound with the print item. Items should be kept securely together. On the Binding and Preservation Service Advice slip instruct prebindery to bind together.
• If hardbound, a separate case will be made for the cassette. Items should be kept securely together. On the Binding and Preservation Service Advice slip instruct prebindery to have a case made as large as the book.
• In this instance the item will be treated as a multipart item. To reflect this in the catalog record, create item records for each physical unit, put text  in the item enum field for a single bound volume and cassette for the accompanying material. Use tape to attach a piggy back barcode to the accompanying material, and scan the barcode number in the item record.
• It is not necessary to write the word text as part of the call number for the volume(s).
