General Procedures

1. New monographs, videos, relocations, and all non-serial material to be processed into the HSLIC collection are delivered daily to the HSLIC by the Library Page and then forwarded on to the Acquisitions and Collection Management Section.
2. The Acq. Librarian reviews incoming material each day, leaving a green "flag" with the material when finished. Another flag identifies titles which need the title page photocopied. Include the call number on the photocopy, place with any book jackets in the Acq. Librarian's in-box.
3. Processing priority: Reserves, items with holds, Reference, everything else.
4. Check the call number against the printout from the cataloger. If a discrepancy, correct the error, e.g., re-type the call number labels.
5. If a NOTIFY flag is in the item, fill out the accompanying hold card. If the requester information is only in the Order record, you may need to go into the online Circulation system to put a Hold for the patron.
6. Take books with imprints of the past two years to the Circulation Section for New Acquisitions Area processing. Circulation will do any date stamping and processing of holds.
7. Books with imprints of over two years have their date-due slip stamped with the current date and are placed on the book truck, top shelf, in front of Serials Section.
8. SPECIAL COLLECTIONS and RARE BOOKS material is shelved directly into these collections.
