Info Requirements From Serials Catalogers for Commercial Binding  

Notes:  

• Shelf Preparation Section (SPS) staff do not work in Aleph very often, most of their work is in the Able database. 

• There are 2 broad types of serials moving through SPS 

  • Serials with a bindery pattern 

  • Serials without a bindery pattern 

• Volumes going to the LSC do not need call numbers written inside. However, when volumes are returned from the LSC for binding, SPS will print a label, but may need Serials Catalogers input for title indication, etc. 

Directions: 

For Serials with a bindery pattern: 

• Write bindery number in pieces as usual.   

• To indicate enumeration, print out Item Record for piece/binding unit and put inside 

• No need to tick titles or write other info in pieces 

For Serials without a bindery pattern: 

• To indicate enumeration 

  • Print out Item Record for piece/binding unit and put inside 

• To indicate the title 

  • If the Title on the print out is what should be on the spine (main entry is in 130 or 245), then nothing else is required 

  • If the Main Entry is in a 100, 110, or 111 field, then tick the information on the piece to indicate what should be on the spine of the bound volume. Alternately, indicate this information on a print out.
