Monographs: Vendor-Assisted Processing
Process Change 1 Acquire
shelf-ready materials from vendors; defer
selector's item review for both approval
materials and firm orders until the materials are
ready to be shelved.
Assumptions

plan, firm order, and standing order monographs
can be received shelf-ready (with call # or PUB
label) from vendors who can meet Stanford's
requirements for electronic record transmission
and item end-processing.
- Shelf-ready monographs can be received for
automated check-in (i.e. barcode wanding) at
branch locations.
- Approval plan monographs not selected for
collections would not be returned to
vendors.
Activity / Transactions Eliminated

order, standing order and approval plan
