Projects, etc. done 2005

• Updated old storage item records to comply with current procedures. Updated procedures to allow circulating items (status -) in storage. This latter change reflects use of storage space since other items (previously in storage) were discarded or shipped to offsite storage. This project also included updating maintenance procedures and check-in records for titles that circulate from storage (1/2005).
• Wrote inventory procedures that cover all formats of material (1/2005).
• Added Electronic Reference location to the catalog. Finished work on adding Electronic Journal location to the catalog. Updated my procedures for adding locations to the catalog to take scoping into account. (2/2005).
• Re-wrote withdrawal procedures. These incorporate new icode2 use and new practice of deleting (rather than suppressing) records for intentionally-withdrawn items (2/11/2005).
• Cleanu-up project: 95 records that had suppressed bibs and check-in records with Lib has statements. Many still had OCLC holdings attached. Updated withdrawal procedures to try to limit mistakes with future withdrawals (2/2005).
• Batesiana cleanup, in conjunction with relocation of Batesiana to the first floor and some of the former Batesiana titles to the stacks. Wrote procedures for new Batesiana section. Added check-in records and some title variations, etc., to serials records, but kept local cataloging for this primarily browsing collection (3/2005).
• Upon request of Chris and Kat, removed call numbers from Special Collections materials that are shelved/asked for by title, and that now are part of College Archives (that is, with A numbers). Many of these titles have copies in both Ladd and Archives/Special Collections. Documented the titles that are no longer classed (3/2005).
