Item Entry
 

 

General

  • Note: Rush and priority items are processed ahead of other library material.
  • Rush items have a checkmark on In-Process (IP) form.

  • New non-print material may receive initial processing of unwrapping and separation of the components of the item. Titles are then catalogued, followed by creation of the item record and printing of the call number label. Labels are then affixed and the item reassembled.
  • Each separate piece in a box set requires a barcode number as identification
  • Each CD box set must have one call number label and one contents label (if applicable)
  • RFID tag: ensure disc and liner/sleeve do not prevent hub tag from reading due to metallic content before affixing the tag.
    • RFID conversion setting = CD/CD-ROM
    • If liner prevents reading, photocopy and replace; affix RFID hub tag to disc
    • If disc prevents reading, place book/square RFID tag on back of liner and donut label on disc
  • Affix hub tag on the primary disc of a multi-disc set, e.g., primary disc rather than bonus disc. When all discs in a set contain primary content, affix hub tag to the last disc in the set.
  • Each item must have an RFID tag attached; write the last 9 digits of the barcode number on the tag as needed; green or blue ink preferred
  • Pieces of an item not receiving an RFID tag require that the significant portion of the barcode number (9 digits) be written on the affixed label
