Damaged Book Processing

Books come in from all parts of the library to be marked, bound, or repaired

Repair candidates can be sent to three "locations"

1. In-house repair: Tighten Hinge, Repair/Bind (lengthy, and may not be feasible due to staffing)
2. To Bindery: Paperback bind or Buckram Bind.
3. Replacement: These are rare (Pages missing, or pages heavily marked in a book that is readily available or perhaps there is second copy on the shelf)

When looking at Damaged books, check the following

• Age: Most 19th century books should go in boxes to protect them.  Early 20th century books are more of a judgment call.
• Paper quality: To see if paper is brittle, bend the corner back and forth.  If the paper breaks or doesn't bend back, call it brittle, and box it (Right?)
• Also consider how much this book will circulate in the future. 

Other tasks:

We'll also get paperback books back from Cataloging.  Most of these should get a paperback bind.

Change status in SIRSI from Stack to Repair or Bindery, and then back again.

marking: Creating labels for all kinds of books.  With Methodist books it doesn't matter

ABLE training

To add the Kyocera printer to my acq computer, we had to turn Jeevan's computer on before we could add the printer.  Printer name: \\LIB-PRESER1\Kyocera Mita DP-1800

SIRSI Connection IP: 192.107.39.201

Make the Kyocera printer the default printer if you haven't already done so.

lot number creation: B(buckram)020310A 02 is mo, 03 is day 10 is year and A is the unique lot designation

Processing Periodicals

We receive groups of periodicals from Dorothy, divided up by rubber bands

Dorothy's template cards, use number in upper right as Title ID

Look at history to see whats been done before

Pay particular attention to first and last issue in front of you

click label check before printing

currently boxing is in flux: must keep boxes under 40 lbs; shipments are no longer regular

Add item(?) Print it out.  Make sure you don't do this twice

We label boxes with lot number, u100 and STD or whatever (see Bridgeports(?) form)

Guiding principle: make sure materials are available for users. Avoid boxing something up only to have to remove it

Spring binders: CAT asks that we no longer send these to the bindery.  We are discussing whether to send theses in folders or sandwiched between cardboard tied together with red ribbon

When creating a new record:

Foramt: S serial, B for ?(rebind damaged?), TP: Thesis Personal

Cover: choose whatever for serials, or better yet, try to match original cover

Use physical level chart template to create lines

Right click in entry box to add variables, accents

To add serials with an ID: Title: text , then search by first two letters to try and find it

\ = next line when making a new record in ABLE

Rebind damaged:

Re-barcode these, because the original barcode might get lost in the rebinding process

affix the new barcode to the clear plastic sheets JEevan saves, and tape that to a slip that has the call number on it

Erase Title when you type that in, but not the other fields such as author

We're leaving the call number field blank when we have a Dewey number because books are going to be reclassed eventually anyway.

Instructions field: Retain and Reinforce for most issues with sewn structures, like loose hinges and damaged flapping spines.

If some pages are loose, R and R won't cut it.  Include "Careful loose pages" in instructions

Also include any other notes from Cataloging in instructions, such as "Pocket

Bookplates: type these out on your typewriter, the preservation one has little ribbon left, and no correction tape.
