Art Library Book Processing Instructions

The Art library makes specialized use of book jackets and book boxes once they reach their shelving location.

Please use the following guidelines when processing Art Library materials:

All book jackets remain with books (do not barcode as if all book jackets will be retained; only if indicated by standard means: flag, 940)

There are three locked stack designations in Symphony for Art Library. Therefore, one needs to determine which of the three Locked Stack locations should be asigned depending on the size outlined below:

Volumes up to 31 cm. art, lcks

Volumes from 31 through 38 cm. art,lckm

Volumes over 38 cm. art,lckl

If the selector has requested to see the item before making a location decision, do not barcode the item until after the location decision has been made (just in case the item may end up in the Locked Stacks).
Items designated for Locked Stachs should not be marked, stamped or barcoded.
- Affix a piggy back barcode to the accompanying printout of the volume copy screen. The Art Library will transfer the barcode to a slip of acid-free paper that will remain with the item.

Insert an ART,LCK flag
If there isn't a good copy cataloging record available, rout to MARC for cataloging in the 910 (place on the MC shelf for delivery).
Copy cataloged items should be hand delivered to Binding & Finishing (there is a special area for Locked Stack materials).
