Digital Media Material (non-ROVI) Processing (obsolete)

Summary: 

CatMan’s labeling team receives digital media after the media is cataloged. CatMan’s labeling team types call number labels, and then delivers them to CatMan’s DMC processing staff for a final quality control check. The items are barcoded, and the item ITypes and sub-locations are updated accordingly at this station.

Processing for Digital Media materials.

1. All pieces have a call number label written on a post-it note on the pieces.
2. Bring the record up in Sierra by the base call # written on the post-it note. This will ensure that the call number label is error-free.
   1. IF the material has an accompanying booklet, leaflet, or other supplementary material, check that those materials are labeled as such.
3. In the bib record check
   1. Check that the title in the record matches what you have in hand.
   2. Check to see if the DVD is PAL and/or has a Region code. Make sure the word PAL and/or Region code are included in the call #, both in the record and on the label.  There should also be PAL and/or Region code stickers on the front of the DVD case. (Region 1 does not require a sticker) Find this information in 538 field, which contains system requirements.
   3. If there are multi discs and/or booklets, leaflets, etc., check for holdings in 866 field.e.g.
      1. 866 0 G.M. Kline Digital/Media: 1 DVD
