- When catalogers identify items as serials, they must be cataloged using a serial record from OCLC (BLvl=s). Because of continual receipt implications, titles cataloged (or recataloged) as serials must be returned to the serials problem shelf for preliminary serials treatment. If the cataloger is certain that the selector does not have a continuation in mind, for instance if the serial is long dead, an exception may be made.
- Place the issues along with all documentation on the shelf labeled "Problems" on the Serials Receiving Unit shelves. Include a problem flyer with your name to facilitate feedback. The phrase "To be cataloged by [your name]" may be added.
