Item Records and BarcodingThis is a featured page

Items without a “Send to cataloguing” workslip note:
Proceed to next step.

  • Attach a barcode to the front cover using existing guide. For non-circulating items, place the barcode inside the back cover, centered at the top.
  • Search for the book in Horizon.
  • Send the record to the MARC Editor.
  • Highlight and copy (ctrl-c) the call number in field 050 or 090 (give preference to field 050).
(ex. RC78.7.D53‡bP48 1988)
  • Press F5 to go to the Edit Items window. (You can also press F6 or use the Copy List button to open the copy list and then click the Items button.)
  • Click Edit.
  • In the “Edit Items” window:
    • Update the Item Type, if necessary.
    • Set the Location to the correct library.
(Note: All item records default to location ml.)
    • Set the Collection code to the appropriate area within the library (Mills Stacks, Innis Ref…).
    • Scan or type the barcode number into the Item Barcode box
    • Paste (ctrl-v) the call number into the call number box. Remove the subfield codes and put spaces between elements of the call number.
(ex. RC 78.7 .D53 P48 1988)
    • Explicit Copy No.: copy 1
    • Call Type: lc
    • Click Save.
  • Write the call number in the top-right corner inside the back cover of the book.

  • Return to the MARC editor.
  • If a series statement is present in fields 440, 490, or 830, check for a series authority record, as explained in the Accepting Catalogue Records guidelines.
    • If no authority record is found route the book to cataloguing.
    • Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
  • Change the Record Status (the ! button in Horizon) to cc.
  • Save the record and put the book on the student labeling truck.
