Procedures for materials to be bound
Updated 11/21/16
After cataloging work is complete and the LC call is entered in the item record:
- Using Modify title: Preview labels wizard, edit the call so that it appears as it should on the spine, in vertical format:
KNR
379.5
J33
2003
- Delete full stop from cutter
- Check if the item is part of a multi-volume set or a monographic series that is classed together; if so:
- Write “COLOR” at the head of the printout; this will alert the bindery use the correct coordinating color of the set or series
- For soft bound monographs, fold page in half lengthwise and insert snugly in book
If the item itself is too flimsy to securely hold the printout, use a paper/binder clip to hold the printout in the middle of the material.
