Physical Processing


Products Generated by CatMarking for CCL Material


 

Item in Hand

For book in hand processing, CatMarking produces and affixes all labels, applies a security strip or checkpoint and ownerships the item.

For non-book items, the labels are not attached but are sent with the items in an envelope.

 

Surrogates

For items processed from surrogates, the following are produced and returned to the campus:

Monograph, Serial Surrogate

Binding and Mending

The binding and mending of campus materials is done locally by the campus. If binding or mending destroys the barcode number or changes the total number of physical items, notify Cataloging using the appropriate CCL Label Request Form. Cataloging does not need to be notified when periodical issues are bound unless there is a change needed in the online holdings statement. Additional labels, including barcodes, may be requested through use of the CCL Label Request form.

Items received at University Park that require binding are sent to the Preservation/Binding Team after cataloging has been completed.

 

Application of Labels

It is important that spine labels and barcode labels be applied to items. These labels will come to the campus library as a result of cataloging of surrogates, label requests, and accompanying non-book materials. Please be sure that the barcode labels and spine labels are applied to the correct item as displayed in The CAT. Placement of the labels is defined by local practice.

 

Requesting Additional Forms

To obtain master forms, or online forms for either the CRC or CCL Label Requests see: Cataloging and Metadata Services Forms.
