Regular Cataloging Procedure

Introduction

Material will be ordered through Acquisitions. When the material arrives, Acquisitions will put it on the table in the In-Process area. Items are then picked up by CatMet staff member for cataloging.

It is ok if there are other bibliographic records with the same title for other copies, i.e., uncat, fully cataloged, reserve, etc.

In Millennium, make the following adjustments to the brief bib. record created by Acquisitions for the item in hand:
