Marking and Stamping Materials

I.  Priority of Materials to be Processed

1. Rush books – To be processed immediately as received
2. Notify books - To be processed three times a week
3. High priority books - Reference, rare materials (including LSC-SPECL materials), items to be returned to Acquisitions
4. Bound periodicals
5. Regular books and sound recordings
6. Micromaterials and other special formats
7. Changes and remarks

II.  Computer Processing

             Marking Table personnel will be responsible for producing a computer-generated label for all materials, with the exception of most maps, many microforms, and serials coming from the bindery (which have call numbers printed by the binder).  Call number labels for WRC and LSC-SPECL materials go on acid-free tags, rather than on the piece itself.  The current location of all items will be changed to match the home location, and any materials that are checked out to Repair or to the Marking Table will be discharged.  Call number labels will be checked for correctness against the handwritten number on the item.
