Setup

  • ALEPH tab settings (upper left corner of screen) should be:
    • Connect to = FCL01
    • Select ADM Library=DEP50
  • Packing Slip – All serials/periodicals should be sent with a packing slip in the first volume of each title (or title change). Monographs do not need a packing slip.
  • The total number of volumes being sent should be on the packing slip.
  • Statistics: Subtract the “deleted items” (also written on packing slip) from the total number of volumes being sent and record the result as linking statistics.
  • Wand in the Barcode of first volume.
  • Macros provided below are for the “tech1” login.
  • Check Tab 2 item fields of the first item. These fields should be filled in by a screener for you. When duplicating an item these field values should transfer into the template.
    • Sublibrary = UMDPT
    • Collection = UDPER for periodicals, UDBKS for serials
    • Material Type = ISSBD
    • Item Status: “11” for UDPER (noncirculating), “01” for serials (circulating).
