GRC staff prepare bindable units
GRC staff prepare issues for binding
- Fill out binding slip (including title, enum, chron) with as much information is needed for the title.
- Include holding ID #
- Enumeration and Chronology is only needed with enough specificity to cover the full range of the bindable unit (For example, if v.2 no.1-4 are being bound, and there are only 4 issues per year, then only "v.2" is needed, "no.1-4" is not necessary; but if there are 8 issues per year then "v.2 no.1-4" is necessary because v.2 by itself does not indicate that only part of the volume is included in that bindable unit.)
- Attach barcode to slip
- Create item record in Alma:
- Find the holding record for the issues being bound (the location will not change)
- Optional: add/correct 866 field if needed
- Under the holding record, create item record including barcode, material type (bound issue), blank item policy, receiving date, Enum and Chron information, and generate description
- See guidance for Enum, Chron, and Description field usage
- After saving the item record, edit it to set process type to “Acquisition Technical Services” and select At: “gelman Content Management”
- Find the holding record for the issues being bound (the location will not change)
- Deliver physical issues and binding slips to Monograph Acquisitions
