New choices for single record import dropdown
Reminders:
extra holdings records may appear on uncataloged stuffA few important changes:
One new backlog
T Loc P: Problems
This is for things that have copy, but the copy has issues that an original cataloger can solve
Examples: NACO work; a new set record is needed for a single volume of a set; things that turn up at Remote without a record for some reason
Things that might have formerly languished for a long time in T Loc A will be transferred to T Loc P instead
Rearranged shelves
T Loc H is staying in its longtime location
T Loc A will move to new shelves; T Loc P will also be on new shelves.
A new way to assign a note to a T Loc piece so it can be tracked in FOLIO.
We’ll be using statistical codes in the instance record, similarly to our process for marking instances for deletion
In the instance record, go to actions-->edit instance
Suppress from discovery
Click “Add statistical code” and select one of the T Loc backlogs
Click “Add administrative note” and add a note in the approximate format:
[stat code] [date], for example: H 11-07-2023
The exact note format is not important, this is intended to be human-readable info
Manually remove the stat code and note when the piece is cataloged and removed from T Loc.
Hopefully it will be possible in the future to remove the code and note automatically during overlay
More T Loc notes:
The new procedure will facilitate identifying T Loc materials in FOLIO Inventory, using facets in the search panel
In the past, Kim W. and her students were responsible for T Loc organization. With these changes, some of the T Loc organization process is moving to catalogers.
The trucks we used to use for things going to T Loc are going away; instead you can put things on the T Loc shelves yourself
For titles without an instance record, create a new one (see first bullet under “Sending a title to a T Loc” in the procedure linked above)
Continue working on T Loc H cleanout project as before; we hope not to transfer these items to T Loc A
Autumn will continue refining the T Loc procedures in Confluence
Coming soon: New choices for single record import dropdown
The popup when doing a single record import from Inventory includes a second dropdown for job profiles, which currently has only one option. Additional profiles will be added.
If you have requests for job profiles you’d like to see included in this second dropdown, let Autumn know
Reminders:
extra holdings records may appear on uncataloged stuff
These are errors generated by a past process. They often appear as a suppressed holdings on an uncataloged instance.
For MSUL materials (not Law Library or LM), these holdings can be deleted at the time of cataloging (or you can edit/reuse them if that’s easier).
If not cataloging the piece, leave the suppressed holdings in place for now.
Law Library materials can be referred to Adam DeWitt.
remove holdings/items from any instance marked as delete
When marking instances for deletion in Inventory, remember to remove OCLC holdings !if necessary.
Meeting note-taking procedural note: No notes need to be taken during the cataloging lab.
Cataloging lab (optional, feel free to add your own stuff)
