Closing Checkin Card

Purpose: To close an inactive checkin card for subsequent removal.  For periodicals, binding staff should be notified (Stephanie and Nancy Michaud) so they can pull volumes for binding, delete checkin card and create or update holdings record.  GovDoc records will also be collected.  Will consult Government Publications staff regarding removal and holdings record creation.

Checkin CARDS are closed for print receipt for the following reasons:

• Title change
• Cancellation
• Shift to online only format
• Ceased publication

Reason should be apparent in last checkin box (eg. "ONLINE ONLY" or "CANCELLED" or "CEASED").  When this note box is created the status for the checkin card should be changed to F for FILLED.

• Right click any box
• Select edit CARD menu
• Select edit card
• In resulting dialog box, move mouse to "Status" dropdown window (at top of screen) and select "F Filled" from pulldown menu.
• Notify both Circ and Binding staff using half page white form
  • If Current periodical, copy to Ken and Stephanie
  • If housed in SEC, copy to Nancy Michaud and Stephanie
