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

J33

  • 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.
