New to LSC Volumes

Volumes and media going to the LSC (Library Service Center) are cataloged for the LSC Library and relevant location, as described in the documentation for new titles to LSC.

Each volume needs:

  • An LSC sticker, placed where the spine label normally goes ( )

  • “Duke University Library” property stamp on the top of the volume (or at the top of the title page if the volume is too thin)

Place on the LSC truck across from mail bins for outgoing collections materials.

LSC Return Volumes

Each volume needs:

  • An LSC sticker, placed above the spine label

  • If reclassing a volume from Dewey to LC, cross out the Dewey call number with a black Sharpie brand marker and affix an LSC sticker where a new spine label would normally go

Place in designated mail bin for outgoing collections materials.
