2. Glue in a date slip which has been stamped with the reference stamp.
N. Bound Periodicals
These are treated as restricted books, unless there are flags that give other instructions. If there is a “Reference” flag, treat as a reference book. If there is a white flag with “Pocket” written on it, the book is treated as a regular circulating book and will need a date slip. Most of these books will have the call number already printed on them; those that don’t will need to be labeled.

8. Audio or video recordings with printed guides
a. Recording: Call number labels, stamps, and other special labels are placed on the item as directed in the appropriate section of this manual.
b. Guide:
(1) If it fits inside case, guide is stamped with ownership stamp, but no call number label is needed.
(2) If guide is separate, a call number label is put on it, and the guide is stamped with an ownership stamp.
VI. Tattletaping
Most books received by the Marking Table will already be tattletaped by Acquisitions. The Marking Table must tattletape only items that have lavender flags in them. These include scores, gift books that don’t come through Acquisitions, and government documents.

1. Rush, notify, and reserve books, which go to the Circulation Desk;

VII. Statistics
The Marking Table keeps a count of nonbook materials and items hand-marked. Statistics for other items can be generated by our automated system.
NOTE: Items that contain more than one type of material, such as a journal with maps or a sound recording with a text, are counted only under the main type of material. In other words, a journal with maps counts only as a journal; the maps are not counted separately. A sound recording with a separate text is counted only as a sound recording; the text is not counted separately. Mixed media materials are counted under the main type of material cataloged. If you are unsure how an item should be counted, consult your supervisor.
A. LSC-SPECL—Items going to the Woodson Research Center (WRC) will be counted in the appropriate column.
B. Audio Recordings—For phonodiscs, audio cassettes, and music compact discs, each piece is counted separately. For example, if there are four CDs in one case, this counts as four, not one.
C. Video Recordings—For videotapes and videodiscs, each piece is counted separately. For example, two videodiscs in one case count as two.
D. Microforms—Microfilm reels, microfiche sheets, and microprint cards are counted separately. Counts for microforms that do not go through the Marking Table will also be recorded on the physical count statistics sheet.
E. Maps—Map counts are recorded on the physical count statistics sheet if they are cataloged in Technical Services, whether or not they go through the Marking Table.
F. CD-ROMs--Non-musical compact discs will be counted as CD-ROMs.
G. Computer files (software disks)—Software disks are counted separately.
H. Changes and Remarks—Count in the Relabel column.
I. Withdraws—Count different types of materials being withdrawn in separate columns. For example, books, phonodiscs, and software disks should each be put in a separate column with the appropriate heading.
At the end of the month, each column will be totaled, and the statistics sheet will be turned in to the Preservation Librarian.VI. Tattletaping
