When the book arrives

1. If the book matches the record, an “rdate” is entered in the order record and the book is placed on the “Add to Withdrawn” shelf.  If the book does not match, the selector will be consulted to see if the book received is acceptable. If it is, an “rdate” is entered and the book is placed on the “Add to Withdrawn” shelf.
2. A copy cataloger will determine if the book can be cataloged on the existing record.  If it can, they will proceed:
   1. Search Connexion for matching, enhanced copy. If found, overlay on to existing record.  (Remember to add our holding symbol to the OCLC record.)
   2. If no copy is found in Connexion, use the existing record in Sierra: enter today’s date in the CAT DATE field, enter the appropriate location code to the LOCATION field, change the call number field group tag from ‘y’ to ‘c’, and create an item record for the new piece.
   3. Ensure that the suppression field in the bib record is changed to – [dash] for NONE.
   4. Place on CP labeling truck.
3. If the book cannot be cataloged on the existing record, the copy cataloger catalogs the title on a matching record from Connexion.
   1. Find matching copy in Connexion and export/save to Sierra, following normal copy cataloging procedures.
   2. Transfer the order record for the new piece to the new bib record.
   3. Place on CP labeling truck.
   4. After the new title is cataloged send an email to Lisa English requesting that the older, existing record be re-withdrawn.  Include the bib number and title of the record that needs to be re-withdrawn.

Back to top

Continue adding steps as needed. Step titles use Heading 2 style. Follow each step with with a "Back to top link" (just copy and paste the "Broken link" box) and a horizontal rule line (add via the plus button on command bar above). Any new step you add will automatically be included in the table of contents. 

Other useful page elements are available to you in the macros found via the plus button on the command bar. Consider using the "tip" macro or the "note" macro, or the "warning" macro if you want to visually separate an important piece of info in your procedures. The grid button on the command bar is also helpful for easily creating tables.
