Beard collection
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.
Background
- Beginning in 2023, the TF location to be phased out; orders and selecting for that location ceased.
- Materials still in-process in Tech Services destined for location TF to be cataloged as Beard materials instead (TFBRD).
- Except for serials; serials destined for TF can continue to be cataloged for or added to TF holdings.
- If an item being cataloged is already held in Beard, please forward to Andrew Lundeen for review.
- Individual items can be forwarded via internal mail.
- Multiple items can be set aside and request a pickup by Andrew.
Copy cataloging
- Check Folio first; Beard item may be an ADD LOC (to Main, or to Special Collections Turfgrass locations (SPTFG, SPRTF), etc.).
- If an ADD LOC, assign it the next sequential copy number, regardless of gaps in existing copy numbers.
- As stated above, Multiple copies within Beard are not desired
- If cataloging a Beard item that would be a copy 2 to something already held in Beard, forward to Andrew Lundeen.
Original cataloging
- Forward to Mike Erickson if there is no copy or found copy is inadequate.
Print monograph record components
- For non-print, consult Autumn Faulkner, Joshua Barton or Janet Baldwin.
- For serials, consult Turfgrass serial procedures
