Equipment processing procedure

Summary: New equipment is purchased by various library departments for patron use that can be either circulating or non-circulating.E

• Verify loan type for piece (non-circulating, 4 hour loan, etc.) and item status (restricted or available) with requestor.
• Most equipment can be found under the Equipment bib record: .b37037663
• MakeCentral may require the piece to have its own record, instead of adding or linking to the existing Equipment record. If this is the case, Janet Baldwin will create the instance, item and holding for the item. Link items if and when that becomes possible.
• Each piece will have a call number label taken from the volume field. Scanning the barcode in SpineOmatic should generate the label.  DO NOT include the word “equipment” if it is part of the call number.
• Barcode the piece, tag, case, etc. of the piece. Provide duplicate barcodes if requested.
