Old workstats

Summary: This procedure governed worstat construction prior to April 2015. The codes below are retained for historic value, and are not currently in active use. For current codes, see Workstats formatting.

General guidelines

In general, a stats code is not required if your cataloging procedure does not include creation of an item record, either through SkyRiver by inclusion of the i= / command in the 949 bib record field or by attaching an item using Sierra.

If the piece you are cataloging is not a new acquisition (i.e., you have an item pulled from the stacks and you are cataloging it for the first time, or you are recataloging from monograph to serial or vice versa), do not include a “w” note in the item record. Material shelved in the stacks has already been included in the Libraries’ ARL count, so including the work stats code in the item would count that piece twice. If you suspect the piece you're working with is an exception, consult with your team manager.

Cataloging statistics will be counted using a work stats note in the item record of each cataloged piece. The work stats note may be added to the 949 field in SkyRiver for export into the online catalog (*i= /loc=[loc]/w=[work stats note]).

The basic format for the cataloging statistics note consists of three parts - team code, category, and the cataloger's initials. Do not separate sections with a space, dash, comma, slash, or semicolon.

• teamcategoryinitials

When cataloging non-print materials, add the total number of pieces (even if the total is 1) following the cataloger’s initials, separated by a comma.

• teamcategoryinitials,#

When cataloging Government Documents materials retrieved from the stacks, use gd for category. Do not add additional coding to represent type of material or format, such as “mono” or “mf”. Include a comma and a piece count only if required by your team manager. [Note: When cataloging Government Documents new receipts, use regular monographs and serials workstats codes.]

Cataloger's initials

The cataloger's initials complete the statistics code. Use the same 3-letter initials you use to log on to the online catalog.

Examples (where xxx represents the cataloger's initials):

How to insert the note in an online catalog item record

USING THE MOUSE:

1. Display the item record
2. Click on the insert icon
3. Click on the drop-down menu and choose w (work stats)
4. Initiate your macro to add the workstats code
5. Click OK

USING KEYSTROKES:

1. Display the item record
2. Press CTRL-i, and then w
3. Initiate your macro to add the workstats code
4. Press ALT-o

When to insert a code for serials cataloging

• Add a “W” note to the item record for
  • hardbound serials
  • softbound serials that receive a barcode and are shelved without binding (i.e., serials that are not sent to Bind Prep immediately after cataloging)
• Do NOT add a “W” note to the item for
  • softbound serials sent to Bind Prep from Technical Services
  • softbound serials that are not barcoded

Serials catalogers should use judgment when it is unclear if a code is needed or what code should be used.
