Cataloguing/Processing Computer Diskettes

1.0 Books with Accompanying Computer Diskettes

    1.1 General Procedures

      1.1.1  Books with accompanying diskettes for Porter or Davis stacks
             are normally left with the book. Porter GP and Ref material
             should, however, be treated on a case by case basis. If
             instructions are not clear on Mass slip as to how material
             should be handled, contact Sue Moskal for Government
             Publications material and H. Calogeridis for Reference
             material.      
    
     
    1.2 Processing Instructions  

      1.2.1  Make a duplicate copy of the diskette(s) at the time of
             cataloguing (give diskette(s) to Nancy to copy).  Place
             duplicate diskette(s) in book, originals stay in Cataloguing.
             Additional copies of the diskette(s) can be supplied by
             Cataloguing if a request is received.

      1.2.2  Place a copy of the diskette(s) in the book.  If a pocket is
             not present in the book instruct Item Prep to add a plastic
             pocket to the back of the book.
  
      1.2.3  The Cataloguer should instruct Item Prep to place a red
             sticky label on the pocket holding the diskette(s) reminding
             the user to check for viruses before using the accompanying
             diskette(s).
   
      1.2.4  The Cataloguer should insstruct Item Prep to place a label
             next to the barcode label on the cover indicating the number
             of diskette(s) included (eg. 2 diskettes included). This
             label should be typed on spine label stock since this is
             extremely difficult to remove.

      1.2.5  Locate items in regular stacks unless otherwise specified.

      1.2.6  At time book is discharged, User Services staff should check
             for diskette(s) and initiate virus check
