Policy and Procedure Statement
2.4.2
Labeling
November 1996
The Cataloging
Department's Database Management Team is responsible for the labeling of all
Library materials.
Initial Labeling
All newly cataloged
titles are labeled according to procedural rules for individual collection
areas. These rules vary for each area and are too numerous to be enumerated.
Any questions about these rules are to be referred to the Cataloging
Department's Database Management Team.
Software packages, cd-roms, and microformat
materials are labeled according to the needs of the individual collection area
and to suit the special needs of the format of the material.
Pam binds and
"Flex-M' binds from the Library's Bindery Preparation Unit are also
labeled by the Database Management Team.
Re-labeling
Materials are
re-labeled because of defective labels, missing labels, or reclassification.
Individual pieces or
small quantities of pieces that require re-labeling may be brought to Database
Management. Large quantities of materials are considered to be projects and
Database Management should be consulted about fitting the project into their
regular workload.
