Preparation+of+Books

=Preparation of Books= Before books go on the shelf there are several things to do. 1. Stamp the school name on the first page and on page 13. 2. Stick on item barcode in correct place. 3. Write the call number, if you know it, on the barcode. 4. Catalog on the computer. 5. Create and attach spine labels. 6. Put a cover on (for books with dust jackets) —or protective taping for paperback.

Practical Suggestions:
We have a shelf for books that are in the process of being cataloged. There are the following sections: 1. Waiting for barcodes and stamping 2. Waiting for cataloging 3. Waiting for cover processing
