Procedure: Adding Items into the ASRS

rev. 20 January 15 June 2016

Purpose: This procedure describes how to put items materials into the ASRS

Overview: The three basics steps are to 1) update the item record status code to available, if necessary 2) transfer the record to the HK database via Millennium Circulation and 3) add the last five digits of the barcode to either an acid free strip or the top of the book.

One of two location codes will be used, cars0 or cars1 depending on the item type code. For materials with item type codes 0 (Circulating books), 6 (Circulating Scores) or 12 (GovDoc Main), use location code0. These item type materials will circulate when they are in the open collection and will also be able to go out on interlibrary loan. For materials with item type status code 1 (SerPer-Main), 7 (Score-Non-circ), or 11 (Book-Limited Use), use cars1. These item types do not circulate when they are in open collection, but go out for only three days when stored in the ASRS. These materials do not go out on interlibrary loan.

Required Knowledge/Skills: Knowledge of Millennium Cataloging Software

Equipment/Supplies: PC with network connection, Millennium Cataloging Software.
