Preparation+of+Periodicals

=Preparation of Periodicals= Before magazines go on the shelf there are several things to do. 1. Stamp the school name on the first page 2. Stick on item barcode in correct place. 3. Write the month and the year on the barcode. 4. Put the magazine into a protective cover. 5. Catalog on the computer.

Simpler Way: Instead of Cataloging each issue, have a small collection of magazine binders cataloged and labeled. For example Sports Illustrated for Kids Copy 1; Sports Illustrated for Kids Copy 2 etc.

Then as a new issue arrives, just pull out the oldest issue and put the new issue in the binder. - now just a 60 second job.
