Cataloging: Baker and Taylor Leased Books
Purpose: To provide temporary access to the Baker and Taylor leased titles and subsequently remove them from URSUS. Selected titles will be cataloged for the permanent collection. The review generally takes place annually.
Incoming Leased Titles
1. Arrive from Acquisitions on shelf a few at a time.
2. Follow usual copy cataloging steps with these item record distinctions:
-
- loc = orrr
- itype = 101
- note field = Leased
3. Physical processing
-
-
- no labels but check for call number match. If call# does not match and OCLC has correct LC#, print a new label. Affix label and cover with tape. If OCLC doesn’t have a complete LC# than consult professional cataloguer.
- sensor strips required
-
