Containers -- Catalogers should not barcode, or create item records, for CD jewel cases that contain DVDs.  DVDs should be housed in an actual DVD container, available from the department supplies area. Do write the call number on the flyer, which should be securely attached to the piece, then put them on the Physical Processing truck.  Physical Processing staff will tattle tape the item, write the call number on the item and send directly to the Media Center.

Catalogers should leave them in place for handling by public services staff.  For more substantial accompanying material such as guides, booklets, pamphlets, see library specific instructions.
