Processing/Cataloging:
Today I worked on processing and cataloging a few adult fiction books from start to finish by myself. I used the steps that I had learned over the past two weeks that included unloading, sourcing, cataloguing, processing, covering, and putting out the books. It was a great experience to put the steps I had learned into place.
I also took off the new books from January off of the shelf and processed them. I then processed the lease books that were being sent back to Baker & Taylor. Below are my notes:
- New books usually stay on for about 6 months
- Put aside lease books that should be sent back to Baker & Taylor
- A - Gs are very crowded and can get left on for longer (for now)
- Take off new sticker / 14-day sticker
- Separate books into the following sections - sci-fi/fantasy, western, fiction/other
- Switch "item" and "type" in catalog using global modification
- Place books on cart to be re-shelved
I then prepared the lease books to be sent back to Baker & Taylor. Below are my notes:
- Books should be sent back about once every six months
- Use 5 charges as a general cut off for new books that have been on the shelf for over six months
- Keep one book for every four books that are sent back
- Take off new/14-day stickers and barcodes
- Write number on packing list printed from Baker & Taylor
- Pack in boxes and write "1 of 1," etc. on front of box
- Request labels from Baker & Taylor, print, and place on boxes to be shipped
