Monographic Copy Adds

All copies to new locations are to receive LC call numbers, regardless of classification followed for previous locations. The only exception to this will be books in a series classified as a whole in Dewey. In this case consult with the Authorities and Database Maintenance Unit.

Adds to the same location will receive a LC call number rather than the Dewey number used for previous copies. The exceptions to this are the Latin American Collection (UFSLA) and the Music Library (UFSMU) which will continue to use the Dewey classification for these added copies.

                                                  Cataloging Procedures

     
    1. Search the item in Aleph by title.
        
    2. Check bibliographic record and compare to item.
      • If the bibliographic record does not match the book in hand, procede to Step 6.  
      • If the bibliographic record matches the book in hand, update or correct errors in the bibliographic record, as  needed (typos, missing information) and proceed to Step 3.
      • If the record is outdated, it may be best to simply overlay the bib with an updated copy from OCLC, assuming there is no valuable local data that would be lost. If the record is a CARP or ReMarc record always overlay, saving any needed local information before overlaying.
      • Copies fpr the Smatheries Libraries can now be added to records with OWN fields other than PUBLIC and UF. See this link for a list of OWN codes that should be changed to PUBLIC. It is important to note that if this is the first copy for one of the Smathers Libraries, you will need to update the holdings in OCLC.
      • If the OWN code is UF, change it to PUBLIC
       
    3. Creating and editing an Item record for an added copy-same location
      • Open Items Tab
      • Item List displays. Click "New" button
      • Add the following information
        • Sublibrary
        • Collection
        • Material Type
        • Item Staus
        • Item Processing Staus
      • Click the "Update" button
      • Click on the HOL Links tab in the bottom pane of the Item Tab.
      • Click the "Create New" button. This will create a new holdings record automatically populating the subfields b,c h, and i (h and i only if there is a 050 or 090 field in the bib record) in the holdings record and automatically link the item you created with the correct holdings record.
      • Check the call no. in subfields h and i. Make sure it matches the call no. used for the first copy in the same location.
      • Add a subfield t to the 852 and fill in the correct copy number (number only)
      • The system no. of the Holdings record you have linked to should display in "Hol. Link" Box on the General Information (1) tab of the item record.
      • Add "c.2" (or appropriate copy number) in "Description" field of the item record

      4.    

    4. Create a new holdings record. If you choose to create the holdings first, follow the directions below.

        • Subfield t for copy no. (2, 3, etc., as appropriate)
        • Subfield x for nonpublic note (put your initials here)
        • Subfield z for public note, if needed. Use if a printing different from first copy.
      • Save on server.
      • You may wish to write down the system no. of the Holdings record you just created to make sure you link to the right HOL record in the next step.
       
    5. Physical processing of the book follows usual procedures for new monographs
        
      • Be sure to include c.2 or c.3 or c.x as part of call number written in the back of the book.

    7. If duplicate records are found in ALEPH
      • Choose one record to which to attach your copy holdings information (choose a record with an order record over one without; otherwise choose the most complete record) and update the holdings screen of the record you have chosen. Process book as indicated above
        • Transfer holdings and item record(s) to the correct (or best) record. Mark for suppression the record(s) not used.
