*Continuations, standing orders. *Some materials received on a standing order basis, e.g., microfilmed newspapers, journals replacing printed forms, are checked in, marked and stamped by Acquisitions personnel. Microfilm reels are barcoded and items linked to the bibliographical record. Statistics are reported monthly to the Marking Table.
2. STATISTICS
Except for microfilm, microforms are not barcoded by Cataloging staff. The Marking Table keeps a running total or manual count of all microforms. Catalogers assist the Marking Table by recording counts of the microforms they have cataloged at a designated place at the Marking Table. Reporting counts is vital for statistical purposes.
After processing is complete microforms are placed on the Government Publications shelf in Acquisitions. Large microform sets are taken directly to Government Publications.
3. Exceptions
The Government Document staff will occasionally bring a barcoded microfilm, but it is not linked to the Sirsi record. Be sure to give this to DBM. If there is a record, DBM will link the barcode as usual. If not, then the DBM will find and transfer the proper record and link the item as usual.
