Adding incomplete units: a checklist

This is a quick checklist of reminders for adding incomplete serial units. For complete information on the serial adding procedure, see Serial adding.

  • Add/update LACKS note on MFHD.
  • Include (inc.) at end of primary/Enum in item record.
  • Fill out a "This Volume Lacks" slip and secure in piece, just inside front cover with binding slip.
  • Note on binding slip what's missing.
  • Note on binding slip whether to be bound as temporary or permanent*.
  • If binding temp., charge to Collections Conservation instead of Binding Services, and put on designated shelf.

*IMPORTANT: Nothing going to Recap should be temp. bound; split into smaller complete units or use a box or envelope.
