Materials in Temporary Locations ("Latest edition…")
Directions for Staff Adding (or Cataloging) New Volumes:
Process the new item as you normally would, with the following inclusions:
- BEFORE PROCESSING – locate the 852 subfield ‘z’ note (OR the 583 ‘action’ field) on the record holdings. IF treatment ‘instructions’ are on holdings, continue editing the item form(s) in question.
- Assign item a Temporary Location (using the holding record information in the 852 subfield ‘z’ -- “Latest edition in Reference”, etc.) - edit item using the Sublibrary & Collection (“right”) arrows located in the “2. General Information (1)” tab.
- Enter a “90” (in-library use) value in the Item Status box (if materials circulate to patrons, the location receiving said items will change the pre-assigned “90” value to a preferred circulation / “charge-out” status - “01”, “07”, etc).
- Check that the Material Type MATCHES the items already present on record; especially, if moved from another record (or, with Shelf Ready (‘SR’) items, etc.) – use “right” arrow to change Type, as needed.
- Place a “3” to the 1st 85X type/linking no. field (to ‘mark’ the most current “latest edition…” materials for staff, etc)
- Make edits to additional fields (Item Process Status, Description, etc.) as needed; then, “lock in” the edits to item form by placing a checkmark in the Temporary Location box (to the right of the 2nd 85X type/linking no. field).
- In the Circ. Note field of the “3. General Information (2)” tab, insert a “NOTIFY [‘Location’, ‘Staff’, etc. ] – after shelving, retrieve PREVIOUS edition, ‘de-process’ item form, then, route to permanent location” note. Make edits to additional fields (Item Process Status, etc.) as needed, then Refresh and Update item form (when possible, use an existing “Latest Edition” item as reference) – when it arrives at its destination, the note will act as a “flag” (for the receiving location) to RETREIVE the previous “Latest Edition” after shelving the current material.
- Next, place a “Previous (latest) edition – to be ‘de-processed’ ” note on any PREVIOUSLY processed as “Temporary Location” items (with OR without red checkmarks in the Item List Notes column) – this will “flag” the (receiving) location to REMOVE the Temp. Location ‘checkmarks’ from these materials (plus, perform other edits to the item fields, etc.) AFTER the ‘newest’ edition arrives.
- Open the holdings record information {6. HOL Links tab, then Edit} & update/create 853/863 holdings (tags, subfields, etc.) as needed. When finished, Save (changes) on Server & Local Drive {Ctrl + L} before closing said holdings.
- Confirm the item’s “Latest Edition” status in the PREVIOUS (library) catalog display (‘ALEPH’) – click on the bibliographic Records tab to View items in Web OPAC {Ctrl + O}; the “3. Browser” tab should show the ALEPH catalog display.
- Click on the location which states the “Latest edition”, choose “Select Sublibrary: All” (via ‘down’ arrow), then the Go button to view newest items (Note: edits to item fields and holdings may take 24-36 hours to display in the CURRENT [‘Mango’] library catalog).
- When finished, place/route bar coded materials that are ready for labeling, tattle taping, & distribution on the RUSH processing shelves of the appropriate branch library (Smathers, Cataloging/Metadata Dept., 3rd floor, etc.) – OTHERWISE, route materials directly to their owning locations (AFTER ‘minimal’ processing, moving/linking the item(s) to the corresponding record, etc).
Direction for Staff at Library Locations…
When the incoming “latest edition” material is received at ‘Temporary Location’ (or branch):
- Check in (return) material (in Circulation mode) & route to the Temporary Location on item form.
- At the Location, scan barcode to confirm item’s Temp. Location and status.
- Highlight (click) the [I] Item line; the “NOTIFY … retrieve PREVIOUS edition…” circulation note should appear in the Item Details tag, stating that an earlier volume may need to be “de-processed” (below). Record volume information for retrival.
- Shelve the CURRENT “latest edition” in hand at the assigned location (NOTE: if the material in the Temp. Location circulates, the pre-assigned “90” items status must be changed to a check out / charge status – “01”, “07”, “52”, etc.)
- Retrieve the PREVIOUS “latest edition” material referred to for “de-processing” & reshelving.
- Scan item barcode (Circulation mode); click the Push to Items function to edit material (in cataloging mode).
- Delete the checkmark in the Temporary Location box of the item record.
- Change the item status of the material from “90” (in-library use, etc), to the holding location’s preferred loan status (“01” = regular loan, etc.)
- Delete the “3” from the 85X type/linking no. box (used to “mark” the current “latest edition” – see above)
- Remove (relocate, etc) any additional notes, etc. placed on the item form (while item was in its Temporary Location) –most importantly, the “Previous latest edition – to be ‘de-processed’ ” note in the Circ. Note field of item (beneath the “3. General Information (2)” tab)
- Refresh and Update the item form – which should revert the Sublibrary & Collection fields back to their permanent location values.
- When item editing is complete, shelve (or route) material accordingly.
Addendum: IF any previous editions earlier than the edition(s) currently being replaced still have a checkmark next to the Temporary Location box, contact the appropriate staff at the temporary location for clarification on handling of said title (via http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/alephpro/catmet/rushcat.htm). If a change in handling the materials has been indicated, update the location information in the holdings and items as necessary [example: when the 2010 edition of a title is processed & received, the 2009 edition will be replaced and moved to its permanent location. However, if the item record of 2008 edition still has a temporary location, this may indicate a permanent location change by the owning location. In this case the catalog should reflect the new location information.
