    MDU Unit Monographic Original Cataloging Material Flow

    (Excludes Hebrew Materials, Slavic belles letters, Derived Original, and other special categories)

    1. MDU staff brings an incoming book truck from Mono Receiving to MDU. Books have been pre-sorted:

    ♦ upper shelf Slavic+
    ♦ lower shelves others

    2. Books are reviewed and picked up for original cataloging daily or as needed.*

    (There is a sign-out sheet to record the number of books each cataloger takes.)
    Books that have not been selected are routed to CLASS.

    3. Catalogers add a 910 routing note in Symphony:

    MARCUnit/year/month/day/individual cataloger's initials

    910: :MARCUnit/2009/04/25/XXX

    ♦ Books to be rerouted should be placed on a specially marked book truck; the 910s will be removed at the time of rerouting.

    4. At the completion of cataloging, catalogers replace the 910 routing note in Symphony with a new date in the following format:

    MARCUnit/day month year/individual cataloger’s initials

    910: :MARCUnit/30 April 2009/XXX

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

    * Excluded from original cataloging in MDU are Belles letters (BL) and items with the following flags:

    6xx white flag
    Anal/<loc> buff Campus Messenger flag
    Usable Call #, To Class - purple flag
