Procedures - Copy cataloging: Reference procedures
Page Editor:Leah Black
Last Updated:March 21, 2006
If the location
on the ORDER record or SELECTION SLIP (for approvals) is SS and the selector is AMW (or AMW appears in the EXT NOTE field in the order record), the book may be cataloged without further review. Either catalog the title as a RUSH or transfer to the RUSH cataloging shelf.
For all other titles ordered or selected for SS, transfer the book to the Reference
review shelf in Current Processing.
Examine
the copy and apply your regular 'SORT' criteria. If there's something
about the copy which bumps the book from your workflow, pass it on (check RUSH processing procedures for transfer destination).
(NOTE: PromptCat shelf-ready processors may (if they wish) transfer ALL reference locations (including those listed below) to the RUSH cataloging shelf in Current Processing even if the copy matches the PromptCat "sort". PromptCat processors may choose to do this if trucks awaiting processing are backlogged in Acquisitions. Use the wide red (reference) flag, and mark the appropriate location.)
If you catalog the title, use these location and bib record 049 codes:
| REFERENCE category (Final destination code*): | BIB
049: |
ITEM
Loc: |
Call
no.
Stamp: |
| Closed reference (SSQRF) | QEMG | SS | REFERENCE |
| Biography tools (SSBIO) | QEMG | SS | REFERENCE |
| Funding center (SSFOU) | QEMG | SS | REFERENCE |
| Law tools/reporters (SSML) | QEMG | SS | REFERENCE |
| Statistics alcove (SSSTT) | QEMG | SS | REFERENCE |
| Travel guides (IRTRV) | QEMG | SS | REFERENCE |
| Career collection (CA) | QEMF | CA | CAREERS |
| Africana (AF) | QEMJ | AF | AFRICANA |
Place the
finished book on the RUSH LABELING TRUCK in
Acquisitions. Be sure to leave the WIDE RED (REFERENCE)
FLAG (narrow red flag for location AF) in the book!
*Final
destination code is included to help identify which reference category
applies. DO NOT use this as a location code in either the BIB
or ITEM record in MAGIC.
