DELETIONS OF TITLES FROM UNICORN

REMOVALS FROM UNICORN ARE COMPLETE AND IRREVOCABLE.

BE CERTAIN THAT WHAT YOU ARE DELETING IS:

1. A LAW LIBRARY TITLE – under no circumstances will we EVER delete a title for any other library on campus.

2. REALLY WHAT YOU WANTED TO DELETE – it is easy to become distracted and lose where you are in Unicorn; if that happens it is better to start all over rather than to delete the wrong record.

Follow this procedure for the last copy of the last call number of a title you wish to remove:

1. Once all but the last volume have been deleted, call up the remaining volume using the Edit Existing Volumes and Call Number wizard.

2. Replace the barcode number with the word AUTO.

3. Change the CURRENT LOCATION to: WITHDRAWN.

4. In the COMMENTS section enter:

.COMMENT.lwd:xxx/mo/yr where xxx=your initials; add a brief reason for the deletion.

E.g. .COMMENT.lwd:kmw/11/97/moved

5. Print out the withdrawn record (in display 1 format) so that the RLIN record can be deleted. Give printouts to Kathy Winzer in weekly batches. Kathy will record statistics under title deletions under TITLES DISCARDS/CANCELLATIONS/CEASED/LOST.

6. Record statistics for volumes discarded under VOLUMES DISCARDS/LOST selecting the appropriate format for the title withdrawn, e.g. monographs.

7. Stamp “discarded” or “withdrawn” on outer edge of volume and discard volumes. Recycle whenever possible, esp. with loose-leaf volumes. With paper or hardbound volumes, you may remove front cover and discard in regular waste basket and recycle the remaining contents.

8. Pull shelflist card and discard.

9. Record statistics for both Shelflist and Maintenance on RCP STATISTICS sheet.

10. Verify that pink binder barcode(s) has been pulled.
