Center for Teaching

Beginning in 2009, Technical Services will be coordinating with the Center for Teaching to assist in the procurement and processing of their library materials.

Ordering

Upon receipt of their online (or other) order in Order Services, OS will add a bibliographic record to Acorn and place an order for the material.  OS will also add Melissa Penix's userid to the order record so that she will be alerted that the material has been received in Order Services.

A fund code has been created in Acorn for the Center for Teaching (for books, the fund is 31029000). 

Receiving and physical processing

Upon receipt of the material, we will barcode the piece and charge the material internally for routing to Cataloging or Marking. Items will be given an Item Cat 1 of 9000-CFT.

Barcodes will be placed on the material following our normal guidelines, using Option B, as TS will not be binding the materials at this time. Add a Center for Teaching flag.

(It will be the responsibility of the Center for Teaching to stamp the new books with an ownership stamp when they receive them from the Library.)

Routing

Once TS processing is complete (the book is cataloged, then sent to our Marking department to have the spine label produced and attached), the charge on the book will be set to In Transit.  Books for CFT should be packaged and addressed to: Melissa Penix / Center for Teaching. The Library Messengers will hand deliver these materials directly to the Center for Teaching. (Upon receipt, the CFT will need to discharge the materials to remove the charge used for tracking in TS.)
