  3. Place serials on the bindery table for Hilda Murillo.
  4. Put ILL items on a cart for delivery and sort other mail items.
  5. Take deliveries to ILL.  Remaining items will be delivered to the Director's Office and Technical Services.

Technical Services Cart

  1. Each morning, following the delivery of mail, the bindery cart should be visited.
  2. This cart is located in Technical Services on the left-hand side of the room near Tanya Cook.
  3. The cart contains paperback books recently processed by catalogers that will need to be evaluated for digciover or buckram binding.
  4. Some books will contain digicover flags indicating that subject bibliographers wish to have these titles sent for binding. 
  5. Other books should be evaluated on a case by case basis to determine if binding is warranted.
  6. MUSIC and DANCE books will always be sent for binding.
  7. Select titles and place them on the mail cart to be taken to the bindery.
  8. All other items should be placed on a cart and taken to Tanya Cook's area for further processing.
