EDITING SERIAL PRINTOUTS ONLINE

 CATALOGERS:

Edit the OCLC contributed serial printout or create a record in the OCLC save file. Write the call no. on the temp. slip and printout. Record the HELIN location symbol on the serial printout:

For Main Library: In 949 field add ( | l RIUP = Serial Stacks; | l RIUF = Reference Area; | l RIUG = Govt Pub Area; | l RIUT = State Pub Area; | l RIUR = Rare Books, etc.). Add | so | t 1 [Serials in the Main Library are not circulated.]

For Pell Library: In 949 field add ( | l RINP - Pell Serials; [Serials in the Pell Library are circulated.] If a serial title in the Pell Library is not circulated, add | so | t 1 after the location symbol for that serial title (e.g. | l RINR | so | t 1).

 

TERMINAL OPERATORS:

I. Type the OCLC control number or save number in the home position <F11>. Check the bibliographic record to see if anything has been changed since the printout was taken. If there have been changes, take a new printout and indicate "Record change." It will go to a cataloger for review. For a serial record Bibliographic Level (BLvl) in the fixed field must be "s".

II. If a serial title publication is current, the fixed field will read: Dates: 1969, 9999 [1969 is the year when the first issue of the serial title has started or 19uu, 9999 if beginning date is unknown]. In this case DtSt: will record "C".

III. If a serial title has ceased publication, the fixed field will record: Dates: 1968, 1975 [beginning date is 1968, ending date is 1975]. In this case DtSt: will record "D".

IV. Input item information in 949 field of an OCLC and Save record.
