Course reserves

Summary: Procedure details specialized steps to be followed in the cataloging of items for Course Reserves


When a title is ordered for course reserves in the main building (MNRES) but the bib record for that title includes a call number that results in shelving in another location, the cataloger should catalog the title for its ultimate shelving location:

  • titles ordered for MNRES that class in the K call number ranges should be cataloged for BU
  • titles ordered for MNRES that class in the M call number range should be cataloged for MU
  • titles ordered for MNRES that class in the N or TR call number ranges should be cataloged for AR

The location MNRES should then be noted on the yellow course reserves streamer so staff in Catalog Maintenance will send the piece to course reserves in main.

When the title is no longer needed on reserve, Course Reserves staff will send it to the ultimate shelving location for the piece.  The course reserve software updates the catalog record to reflect the appropriate location.
