| Boxes that comprise large shipments (over 150 books) of Shelf-Ready books need to be organized before unpacking, because such shipments contain multiple invoices. Each box has a number on its label corresponding to its invoice number. Boxes with the same associated invoice number should be unpacked together, in alphabetical order by title, onto book trucks. The Monographic Receiver then checks each book off its invoice, but doesn't give the invoice to the Ordering Assistant until after all books have been received. (Although Shelf-Ready books cannot usually be returned to the vendor, there are some situations, such as missing pages found during receiving, in which they must be, and a refund or replacement sought from the vendor.) | Boxes that comprise large shipments (over 150 books) of Shelf-Ready books need to be organized before unpacking, because such shipments contain multiple invoices.

| - | Make sure call numbers match library location code assigned. It's sometimes necessary to change the location in the holdings record and add or delete a location from a call number label. Books labeled as “SCIENCE” sometimes have a call number that indicates they should instead be shelved in the Du Bois Library, and visa versa. Consult the [[AA Chart for Cataloging to Locations As Appropriate]] to aid in determining the correct location for a book based on call number. | + | Make sure call numbers match library location code assigned.
