Interim Procedures for Cataloging Non-Serial SSHL or BIOMED Items for SRLF

By Karen Peters
October 19, 1999

1. When exporting or editing Bibliographic records for items destined for SRLF, assign the following codes:

BRANCH CODE : srlf
LOCATION CODE : lf (SSH) or blf (BIOMED)

2. Do NOT barcode the item. SRLF will affix their unique barcode used for retrieval.

3. Put the items on the "SRLF New Inputs" shelves inside the Export Verification area.

4. Export Verification will compare the online record to the book, insert statistical data in the item record, and change the following:

BRANCH CODE: cul (SSH) or bml (BIOMED)
LOCATION CODE: ca (SSH) or ba (BIOMED)
STATUS: x (Unavailable - SRLF)

NOTE: The branch, status, and item locations are temporary and will be changed back to the correct codes systematically once SRLF pickups resume.

5. Gray streamers are placed in the items by Export Verification staff and the items are sent to the Annex to be stored until SRLF resumes their processing.
