Step 2: Create a new lot for periodicals.
• From the menu near the top of the screen select the “Lot” button.
• In the “Lot ID” box name your lot (use the date of the pickup and P for periodical). Ex: 022216P
• Select “Enter.” A new box will appear and ask "Create lot?" Answer “Yes” and close window.
...
Step 5: Add monographs to your monograph lot
• On the main screen under the “Fmt” drop-down box click on “TAC.”
• For each monograph, type in the title (all caps), author (all caps, first author, last name) and call number. When typing the call number, put a backslash () where you want a new line to start. Ex: PR\5322\.W38\1910.
• In the “cover” drop-down box, pick a color for the binding. Try to stay as close to the original cover color as possible.
• In the “print” drop-down box, pick the print color for the spine. Try to stay as close to original cover lettering color as possible.
• If there are any special instructions such as the item is to be re-cased, select the instructions button and type the instructions there. If you forget to do this step, you can handwrite in “re-case” on both halves of the binding slips.
• Select the “add item” button and print out the binding slips, cut in half and put one in the cover of the item and keep one for your records.
• If the item is being rebound or re-cased, remove old barcode and tape it to your binding slip. This will help when you are processing the books after they have been rebound. If there is a bookplate in the monograph, make a new one and paperclip it to your pull slip, so it can be attached after binding.

Step 2: Receive and process the bound monographs
• In Sierra serials, bring up the item record by scanning the barcode you taped to your pull slip. Insert a new barcode and change the status to available (or whatever it is supposed to be).
• Process monograph by tattle-tapping, and stamping with “Mollering Collection – Valparaiso University” stamp, if needed.
• Take books up to Circulation
