SPC scan cataloging

These procedures are for catalogers working on scans of SPC materials produced by student scanners on 3E.

These are draft procedures only; this workflow is still being developed.

Workflow

  • Access the 3E scan files folder

    • Following the usual process, create folders with your name and drag scans there to work on

    • Work chronologically by shelf number (i.e., make sure Shelf 1 folder is complete before moving on to Shelf 2)

  • Enter each cataloged item on the 3E cataloging tracking spreadsheet

    • Delete scan when finished

  • Route problem items as follows:

    • Needs further work from Cathy for rare books/provenance note → Place in Cathy troubleshooting folder

    • Needs in-person work → place in Cathy troubleshooting folder

    • Needs original cataloging → place in Needs original folder

For all problem items, edit the filename or make annotations to the PDF to describe the issue.
