Processing of Pink Flyer Items Returned to LTS Olin from Access Services
These are placed on the "Pink flyer" shelf by Access Services staff and are retrieved by a member of the Inputting Unit. When returned to LTS Olin, the books will be researched searched in Voyager FOLIO and OCLC and processed for cataloging according to the guidelines below.
- Fastcattable
If the Voyager FOLIO record is a preliminary, original or non-full LC or member record, search OCLC for a fastcattable record with a usable call number and, if found, merge overlay the Voyager FOLIO preliminary record with the fuller better record and fastcat the item. After cataloging, discard the pink flyer and place the item on the appropriate physical processing truck.
- Non-fastcattable If the Voyager FOLIO record is not fastcattable, search OCLC for a better record. Note the searching information on the location flyer.
- If a 3-check LC or member record with an LC-type call number is found, merge overlay the Voyager FOLIO record with the better record. If the item is fastcattable, process it and place the item on the appropriate truck for physical processing. If the item is not fastcattable, annotated the flyer and place the item and appropriately annotated flyer on the sorting table opposite the Acquisitions barbook on the appropriate truck in cataloging for copy/original cataloging.
- If no better record is found, place an appropriately annotated location flyer in the item, along with the pink flyer and place the book on the sorting table opposite the Acquisitions bar appropriate truck in cataloging for copy/original cataloging. The pink flyer is not discarded until the book has been cataloged.
