Workflow:Anchor A A
- Patron brings piece to Circ. desk, and is asked to fill out a manual loan card.
- Access Services staff take a set of DOUBLE-DUMB Barcodes, and put one in the piece, and one on the card.
- If the resource already has a barcode, Access Services staff do NOT need to apply a barcode to the piece & card. They just need to make sure that the existing barcode number is visible in the photocopy provided to LTS (see steps 3-4).
- Access Services staff make a photocopy of the book’s title page, t.p. verso, and Call number.
- Access Services bring the card and photocopy to the Inputting Supervisor, Acquisitions Coordinator, or Database Quality Supervisor in LTS, to be processed on a Rush basis.
- LTS staff locate the best record based on the card and photocopy, whether using existing Voyager records, searching/importing from OCLC, or creating one as necessary.
- LTS Staff may need to consult with others who have the appropriate language expertise, if necessary.
- LTS staff create an “In Process” Holdings record, if applicable, with a subfield X note in the 852 field stating “Manual Loan, send to 110 Olin when returned”, and any other appropriate explanatory information (see examples in the Notes section below). The clearer the note, the better.
- If it is not necessary to create a new Holdings, LTS staff will add the Manual Loan note (in a subfield X) to the appropriate existing Holdings. This would occur in cases where we appear to have a bib and a holdings record for the piece, but it simply lacked an item record. This is one of the most common scenarios for manual loans..
- LTS staff create a new Item record for that Holdings (using the Barcode on the card or photocopy), set the Item Status to “Cataloging Review”, and paste the Holdings note in the “Note” area of the Item record.
- All records associated with this loan will be active and un-suppressed.
- LTS staff return the card to Access Services in the Public Services office, so they can link the resource to the patron in the Circulation Module. This will make it appear as “charged” in the OPAC.
- When the Patron returns the piece, Access Services staff will discharge it, bring it to the “Manual Loan Returns” shelf in LTS, or directly to the Inputting Supervisor, Acquisitions coordinator, or Database Quality Supervisor.
LTS staff catalog the resource and delete the notes as appropriate, reset the Item Status to “Not Charged”, and send the item to the stacks.

Notes: Anchor B B
There are a number of scenarios in which a resource will lack an Item record, and careful judgment must be used by the staff member who is processing the resource. Below are 3 cases requiring 3 different approaches, and there may be others not covered here. Please consult the appropriate staff if questions arise. In addition to the example in #6 above, there are other scenarios in which a resource will lack an Item record, and careful judgment must be used by the staff member who is processing the resource.
