2.17. Add Call Number and Item Records


 

  • Enter the number of call number records in the Call Numbers field. Select a Classification from the dropdown menu (defaults to Dewey, based on library setting).
Note: The Classification is derived from following setting in the Admin module: Admin → Local Administration → Library Settings Editor → Cataloging: Default Classification Scheme. The Call Number is derived from the MARC record.
  • For the call number fields: Select Prefix (optional), add or edit (as needed) the Call Number Label (required), and a Suffix (optional).
  • Select the number of Items you are adding for each call number. (An additional barcode field will appear if you select more than 1 item.)
  • Scan or type in a Barcode for each item to be added.
  • The barcodes that you enter will populate in the Working Items at the bottom of the screen. 
  • An Item # can be added (optional). Do not confuse this with the number of barcoded Items, which is after the Suffix field.
  • Add monograph parts in the Part field, if needed. (See Add Monograph Parts for detailed instructions.)
  • Go down to the Item Attributes section (Working Items tab) and choose an existing Item Template from the dropdown menu (if desired) and click the Apply button (note that there are green fields or boxes around the template settings) 

Add any additional unique information (such as item price) and click the Save & Exit button at the bottom of the page.

Once an item is created, it is assigned a temporary item status (default is In process). An item must be checked in to become Available, triggering a search for active holds on the item. See New Copies and Holds.
