MARC Unit Monographic Original Cataloging Material Flow

1. Class Unit (CLASS) staff pick up books from Mono Receiving area.

2. CLASS staff sort MARC non-Slavic incoming into 6 subject areas:
   Humanities (Archeology, history, philosophy, psychology, religion, etc.)
   Arts
   Gov Docs
   Language & Literature
   Science (*)
   Social Sciences (including Education)

   Slavic books will be on separate shelves (belles lettres arrive sorted out)

3. Sorted books are reviewed and picked up by original catalogers daily or as needed.
   [There is a sign out sheet to record the number of books each cataloger takes.]
   
   

4. Catalogers add a 910 routing note in Unicorn:
   MARCUnit/year/month/day/individual cataloger's initials
   910: :MARCUnit/2005/04/25/XXX
   Books to be rerouted should be placed on a specially marked book truck; the 910s will be removed at the time of rerouting.
   
   

5. At the completion of cataloging, catalogers replace the 910 routing note in Unicorn with a new date in the following format:
   MARCUnit/day month year/individual catalogers initials
   910: :MARCUnit/30 March 2005/XXX
   
   

6. Cataloged books are placed on an outgoing book truck picked up daily by Materials Control (MC) staff.
