How do I fill out Cataloging (Cat) Sheets
Answer
NLLS has moved to online Cat Sheet submission. This is so both the libraries and NLLS staff can easily track the progress of items sent in for cataloging.
Procedures:
- Because we are using this online submission process, there is no need for the first page of the cataloging sheet. Please just fill out the form using the link at the bottom, and use the attached cataloging sheet.
- There is a limit of no more than 24 items (2 full cataloguing sheets) per week
- 6 Rush items is the weekly limit.
- Do not mix Rush with regular cataloguing materials – please use a separate Cat Sheet.
- No items on the Cat Sheet will be processed – this includes re-packaging of A\V material, laminating, and mactacking. We send the printed label sheets with each completed cataloging sheet.
- Submit one Cat Sheet per online form.
- When you submit a Cat Sheet, you will receive an email with a ticket number. Please print this email and send it with your items to NLLS.
Things to Remember:
- Please type out the packing list of items to be catalogued;
- All items have been property stamped by the owning library;
- All items have an appropriate NLLS book barcode attached in the correct spot;
- Ensure that the Cat Sheet is filled out completely – Every column should have content (except Notes);
- Check items in at library upon arrival.
- Don't forget to upload the Cat Sheet at the end of the form.
