EAL Western Books Cataloging and Processing

Written by Chiharu Watsky, 08/15/18

Cataloging

Bring the book to a cataloger. Cataloger decides who should do cataloging and processing.

Physical processing

For Firestone Library stacks:

  • Add security strip, book plate, top edge stamping. Do not make call number. Firestone has its own which is different from EAL.

  • Send to Marie Wange-Connelly (head of Circulation and Inventory Management Services)

For Recap:

  • Add book plate, top edge stamping, and call number (security strip will be added in Recap)

  • If not send to Recap right away, use “in process” in Voyager item record

  • Before put it on the Recap truck, remove “in process” status and discharge in the circulation system

  • Put in the Recap truck for sending to Recap

For books that need binding:

For books need to be bound (e.g. cannot stand on their own on the shelves), send them to: Shelf Direct Bindery Services, 693 Alexander.

If in doubt whether special binding is necessary, send to Shelf Direct Bindery Services, with note: “Binding decision”.

LC/PCC practice

Generally, a reproduction or republication of a serial is treated as a serial according to CONSER practice and the LC-PCC PS 0.0. However, catalog the following as a monograph:

  1.  A republication of a single issue or a limited number of issues.

  2.  A collection of bibliographically unrelated serials or articles.

EAL Rush Book with Recap Destination Cataloging and Processing

Written by Chiharu Watsky, 08/10/2018

 If there is a good member copy in OCLC, catalog and export it to Voyager.

  • Keep “in process” in Voyager item status

  • No need to change location from Recap to c/j/k

  • Give the book to the Circulation.

 If there is no good record in OCLC, proceed as follows:

  • Keep “in process” in Voyager item status

  • Add “cataloging review” to the item status

  • Write note in Voyager MFHD: “866 b0 $x catalog after return”

  •  No need for call number labeling as it hasn’t been cataloged.
