    2. If you the bib is NOT suppressed, you're likely reinstating an additional copy or location for an item that is already heldalready un-suppressed, do not add the Fast-shelve code, but add the appropriate added location, added copy, or maintenance/pre-cataloging code as applicable.

Ia . No Instance Record in FOLIO

  1. If no record is found in FOLIO, import one from OCLC, or Input from scratch as applicable. (Instance Statistical Code: Source of Acquisition: miscellaneous).
  2. Add an Administrative Note with the code for Inputting (,,i)
  3. If you imported the record from OCLC, assess whether and it is fully cataloged, with full encoding level, LC call number and/or subjects, etc.also fastcat-able, add a second Administrative Note for Fastcat (,,f) 
    • If it is fully catalogedadd an Administrative Note in the Instance for shelflisting (macro ,,s).
    • If the record from OCLC is partial or preliminary, or has a foreign language of cataloging, OR if you had to input it from scratch, pass the item on to the Catalogers for cataloging (and re-marking as necessary), but make sure to write "reinstatement" on the top of the location flyer, and follow the appropriate instructions for the Holdings and Item screens (see below).

II. Holdings record.

  1. Display the Holdings Record.  If the Instance was just imported or created, skip to step 4. 
  2. If the Holdings record in suppressed, make sure to un-check the Suppress From Discovery box so that it displays in the public catalog.
  3. Make sure the call number in the Call Number field matches the label and hand-written markings in the book.  Determine if there is a discrepancy between the online call number and the label & handwritten numbers, and correct as necessary.  Have the piece re-labeled in Physical Processing if the label is determined to be in error and needs fixing (see below).  From here, skip step 4 below and proceed to step 5.
  4. If the Instance was newly-imported or created, then Add a New Holdings:
    1. Enter the appropriate Holdings Type, Location, Call Number Type, and Holdings Statements as applicable.
      1. For items that will need cataloging, set the Call Number Type to Other, and enter "In Process" in the Call Number field.
      2. For items that have full cataloging, compare the call number of the Instance record with the call number (if any) on the original label or handwritten marking on or inside the piece.  If the old call number on/inside the piece is still valid (i.e. it's LC format, the Classification is correct, with only minor numerical differences in the cuttering), then it can be entered into the Call Number field, and the book will not need to be re-marked (see below).  Consult with a cataloger if needed.  If in doubt, use the call number from the imported record, enter it into the Call Number field, and re-write the call number in the piece(s) to match.  The item will also need to be relabeled in Physical Processing (see below).
      3. If you use the original or new call number (as opposed to sending it to cataloging), make sure to apply any Oversize information that may be applicable.
  5. Add a Staff-only Holdings Note (Note type: Note) saying "Reinstated", the date and your ID (see Example 1) .  There may be previous notes that the item had been withdrawn, but staff can leave these alone, and even provide an explanation, if available, to preserve the maintenance history of the piece (see Example 2):
