A. Cataloging Department
1. Commercial bindinga. Binding decisions are recorded on the routing slip before going to Linking Station. b. Linking Station staff types a bindery slip, affixes a piggyback barcode to the last copy of the bindery slip (center bottom of front side, not obscuring "NON-MARC" note), writes the cat date on the lower right-hand corner of the last copy of the bindery slip, links volume, and examines Innopac record as usual. Additionally, the status field in the item record is coded ‘b’. c. Linking Station staff places volumes on bindery shelf, with first three copies of the bindery slip. The last copy of the bindery slip, with the piggyback barcode, is placed in the box for bindery slips in Information Processing. d. Labeling staff in Information Processing paperclip labels for volumes sent to the bindery to the retained copy of the bindery slip. When the volumes return from the bindery, the call number labels and the barcode label are removed from the bindery slip and affixed to the volumes. EXCEPTION--RECORDS NEW TO OCLC: Volumes, worksheets, and filled-in bindery slips with piggy-back barcodes go to reviewer, bypassing Linking Station. Reviewer examines record, adds item record data, updates record on OCLC, and exports record to Innopac (Cf. Workflow for Cataloging Monographs on Innopac). Records in Innopac should have a week-day cat date, ‘x’ in BCode 3, and ‘b’ in item status. Reviewer places volumes on bindery shelf in Information Processing, with the first three copies of the bindery slip, and places the last copy of the bindery slip, with the piggyback barcode, in the box for bindery slips. 2. In-house treatment (pam bind, lamination, or repair)
a. Binding decisions are recorded on the routing slip before going to Linking Station. b. Linking Station staff does not link the volume at this time. Instead, the status field in the item record is coded ‘u’, which will display as "In Process" and the volume is delivered to the fishbowl in Information Processing. c. Repair staff in Information Processing treat the volume as indicated and deliver the volume to a Linking Station in Information Processing. d. Linking staff in Information Processing link the volume, set the cat date, and examine the Innopac record as usual. The volume is placed on an Information Processing truck for end processing with volumes of like cat dates. EXCEPTION--RECORDS NEW TO OCLC: Volumes and worksheets go to reviewer, with instructions for treatment written on the bindery slips. Reviewer examines record, adds item record data, without barcode, updates record on OCLC, and exports record to Innopac (Cf. Workflow for Cataloging Monographs on Innopac). Records in Innopac should have no cat date, ‘-’ in Bcode 3, and ‘u’ in item status. Reviewer delivers volumes to the fishbowl with a note on the routing slip indicating that the volume should be returned to the reviewer. Preservation staff treat the volume as indicated and return the volume to the reviewer. Reviewer enters that day’s cat date, changes Bcode3 to ‘x’, and links volume, but does not change the item status. Reviewer places volume on an Information Processing truck that has already been linked with the immediately following Saturday as cat date, but has not yet been end processed. B. Information Processing Department
1. Commercial binding a. Assistant Department Head reviews volumes on shelves before cataloging, selects volumes to be sent to commercial bindery, and writes data for bindery slip on routing slip. b. Cataloging Assistants catalog books as usual, and place on truck going to Linking Station. c. Linking Station staff type a bindery slip, affix a piggyback barcode to the last copy of the bindery slip (center bottom of front side, not obscuring "MARC" note), writes the cat date on the lower right hand corner of the last copy of the bindery slip, links volume, and examines Innopac record as usual. Additionally, the status field in the item record is coded ‘b’. d. Linking staff place volumes on bindery shelf, with first three copies of the bindery slip. The last copy of the bindery slip is placed in the box for bindery slips. e. Labeling staff in Information Processing attach labels for volumes sent to the bindery to the retained copy of the bindery slip. When the volumes return from the bindery, the call number labels and the barcode label are removed from the bindery slip and affixed to the volumes. 2. In-house preservation treatment
a. Assistant Department Head reviews volumes on shelves before cataloging, selects volumes for in-house treatment, and writes instructions on routing slip. b. Cataloging Assistants catalog each volume as usual, but instead of sending volume to Linking Station, code status field in item record as ‘u’ ("In Process") and deliver volume to the fishbowl in Information Processing. c. Repair staff in Information Processing treat the volume as indicated and place the volume on the most current truck for cataloged books in Information Processing. d. Linking staff in Information Processing link the volume, set the cat date, leave ‘u’ in item status, and examine the Innopac record as usual. The volume is placed on an Information Processing truck for end processing with volumes of like cat dates. C. Binding Monographic Added Volumes
