Cataloging Materials for the German House
Department: Technical Services
Procedure: Cataloging Materials for the German House
Rev. 9 July 2010
Purpose: The German House contains a small collection of German language materials for use by its residents and German language classes taught on-site. The materials are represented in the library catalog so that we can track the collection and avoid duplicate purchases.
Overview: The procedures for treating this collection are a hybrid of what we do for the Stager Collection and the Career Center collection. The German House collection will have full MARC records and holdings in OCLC, but we will not interlibrary loan them. The collection will have labels similar to Stager Collection labels, but no security strips. Like the Career Center collection, German House staff will be responsible for doing periodic inventories.
Required Knowledge/Skills: Reading knowledge of German, OCLC Connexion, Sierra, MARC tags, current cataloging codes and LC applications.
Equipment/Supplies: PC with Sierra and OCLC Connexion, German House labels, circular ownership labels accompanying media.
