A. Pre-Cataloging
All serials should have an accompanying printout of a preliminary record, containing searching information, what issue(s) are in hand, and the searcher's initials. If there is no preliminary record, or if the title has been sent to LTS catalogers on a monograph record, send it to the problem shelf in the Serials Receiving shelves in LTS Olin.
...
4. Final steps Follow the post-cataloging steps for new serials.Return the status change flyer (all copies) with issue(s) along with a printout of the new title containing its call number.If the call number has changed, put the new call number on the status change flyer as well as on the printout.

F. Newspaper Processing
The vast majority of new titles that come to LTS Olin looking like newspapers are cataloged as regular periodicals, with the fixed field Original item: e indicating that they are in the "newspaper format." LTS catalogers treat a title as a newspaper only when the selector or library specifically requests this treatment.

Newspapers get no title change fliers.

G. Asia Newspaper-Format Retrospective Exception
Newly-received periodicals in newspaper format and newly-received genuine newspapers for the Asia collections are cataloged according to the above procedures. A finite number of Asian periodicals in newspaper format, however, have been retrospectively identified for expeditious handling.
When first cataloged, the newspaper-format periodical’s MFHD looked like this:
852:01:ech |k Oversize |h AP95.V6 |i T5518 |m ++
866:41:|8 0 |a 2009:so 1-53
The MFHD is now “frozen” and its related holdings sent to the Annex:
852:01:ech,anx |k Oversize |h AP95.V6 |i T5518 |m ++ |x DO NOT CHK-IN HERE, SEND TO NEWSPAPER
866:41:|8 0 |a 2009:so 1-53
Create a new, extra MFHD without a call number, as if the title were a genuine newspaper:
852:81:ech |k Newspapers |h No call number
NO 866!
