Processing / Cataloging:
Today I worked with again with Janine on the adult fiction collection.  We went over some information on ordering books and then focused the remainder of our time on cataloging.  I was able to get a lot of practice cross referencing several lists of books for ordering and completing tasks in the Sirsi Dynx cataloging area of Workflows.  Below are my notes on the work that we did together:

Processing

• Unload books from the delivery on the table that are labeled "hot list" from Baker & Taylor (delivery usually comes once a week and Stephanie also orders from Baker & Taylor for children's)
• Place books on cart
• Check off books on packaging list and look at the status report for canceled / backordered
• Check the list for books that cannot go out on the shelf list
• Keep packaging list, return list, one copy of the invoice (one copy of invoice goes to Roberta) - stable together - hole punch and place in "Baker & Taylor Invoices and Returns" binder with the newest list on top and keep for 7-8 months after the book cycle is complete)
• Check off title on ordering list in black binder and write down the date that the book was received (once the list is all checked off the list can be thrown away)
• Check to see if any titles are fantasy, science fiction, mystery, western, short story and place genre sticker on the spine label
