Summary: This procedure details the cataloging workflow and unique record components for the Beard Collection, a unique collection that is part of the Turfgrass Information Center.
Copy cataloging
Check Sierra first; Beard item may be an ADD LOC (to Main, the regular Turfgrass location, etc.)
if an ADD LOC, assign it the next sequential copy number, regardless of gaps in existing copy numbers
multiple copies within Beard are not desired
if cataloging a Beard item that would be a copy 2 to something already held in Beard, contact individuals below on how to proceed
Original cataloging
forward to Joshua Barton, if there is no copy or found copy is inadequate.
