SERIALS CHECK-IN (PREDICTIVE) 5/20/SFM
Sort and separate mail addressed to Serials from mail addressed to Law. Open the mail at the Serial table. Always keep the envelope/packaging with the material (tucked inside) until after it has been checked in. Place Law and Serials material on labelled shelves until it is to be checked-in. Route material addressed to Acquisitions to appropriate Acquisitions staff. When you are ready to begin check-in:
Open the Voyager Acquisitions Module
From the menu, choose “Serials Check-In”
Enter the item title in the “Search For” box, then click “Check-In” button
If the title is not found, try an ISSN search. First choose the ISSN search option
If a “Check-In Note” box pops up, read carefully and follow carefully any editing and processing notes.
See “PROCESSING NOTES” (W-drive >LTEC>Serials) document for notes & explanations. Permanent editing and processing notes are always in upper case, while temporary notes are always in lower case with a date and initials added. Some common notes are:
EDIT: Edit the predictive check-in issue information
S/O (Serial standing order. Locate invoice, then check-in & process according to S/O procedures; route invoice to Acquisitions, PB8)
AU S/O (Acquisitions monographic series standing order: route to shelf in Acquisitions)
BARCODE (Create item record, scan in barcode; affix barcode to item)
FOR USE IN LIBRARY ONLY (FUILO) (Affix “FOR USE IN LIBRARY ONLY” label; either cloth label for spine of hardbound, or paper label for front cover underneath or in place of BARCODE label)
ADD TO CALL NO: [YEAR] [VOLUME] (Add this information to the call number)
ADD BCS BLUE DOT (The title is located in Basement Compact Shelving. Affix blue dot near call number)
SPLIT SET… (Process as indicated)
DO NOT MARK OR STAMP. FILL IN PROCESSING FORM 1 (This note applies to all SCUA serial material. Always separate SCUA material from main material after check-in. Do not mark or stamp the material. Place on its own separate shelf with processing form 1 filled in and attached to the item in hand.)
CURRENT [X] ONLY RETAINED. FILL IN PROCESSING FORM 3 (Limited retention. Retrieve issues to be discarded…Note that Processing Form 3 is no longer used, but the phrase “Fill in Processing Form 3” may still be found in some limited retention processing notes.)
Add the two notes below to the pop-up as necessary:
Send next issue for new predictive pattern (Always in lowercase as it is a temporary note. Add date and initials.)
Watch for possible pattern change (Always in lowercase as it is a temporary note. Add date and initials.)
Consider: Is it the correct title? Is it the correct issue? What is the date of the “Expected Issue”? Does an issue need to be claimed? Does the Expected Issue date need to be updated?
Highlight the correct issue, then click the “Quick Check-In” button.
Click the “History” button. Confirm issue has been checked in. EDIT if necessary using the “Edit Issue” button.
NOTE: Sometimes serial publication patterns, titles or publishers change. When these changes are evident, route serial issue to Metadata (Serials) supervisor for follow up. Affix a Post-it note indicating the type of change and place in “questions” tray. Serials cataloguers may also be consulted for help as needed.
Affix hand written label to upper right hand corner of periodical material. Affix selin label to annuals, barcoded serials or serials substantial enough to affix a spine label.
Property stamp cover, title page or first page where property stamp can be added. For annuals and barcoded material, use gutter stamp (or property stamp) as appropriate.
The shelves are divided by floor with serials typically located on one side of the shelf and monographs located on the right side of the shelf.
ADVANCED SEARCHES: If title is still not found, try the following searches:
In the Cataloging module, perform a Journal title (or title) search. If a record is found, then click the “Get Holdings” button and examine field 866: Does it say “PREDICTIVE”? If yes, search for the title again in Serials Check-In using the title as it appears in field 245. Does it say “NOT FOR PREDICTIVE”? Check-In in holdings following established procedure or route to the Serials (Metadata) supervisor for follow up.
*In the Cataloging module, perform a “Staff Title Headings Search” or a “Staff Name Headings Search”. If found, click the “Authority” button and look for a field 667 “ATTENTION SERIALS” processing or routing note.
* In the Cataloging module, perform a Keyword Boolean search
*If the title is still not found, search for the item in the UNSOLICITED FOLDER (located on the W-drive LTEC >Serials
*If title is still not found, route item to Metadata (Serials) supervisor for follow up.
PREDICTIVE CHECK-IN RECORDS – CREATING NEW RECORDS SJ/3/12 Updated SFM/6/17
Use the following procedure when there is no predictive check-in record for the material in hand. There must be an active purchase order for a serial in order to create a Predictive Checkin record.
From the MARC Holdings record, “copy” any processing notes from field 852 which should be pasted into the Predictive Checkin notes box (i.e. ADD TO CALL NO.: YEAR; FOR USE IN LIBRARY ONLY; BARCODE, etc.)
Press Ctrl M (or Alt R Q) to get to the purchase order line item screen.
Click on the Type tab
Click on the Subscription Pattern button
Click on the New button
Paste the notes you previously copied into the Component Details Note box and click Save. The Component Details tab will now be highlighted
Click on the Predictive Component Pattern tab, highlight the pattern you wish to use and then click on the Start Prediction button
Add the Enumeration and Chronology Value information as applicable to the issue you have in hand; select the First Issue’s Expected Date (i.e. the date by which you would want to claim the issue in hand if it had not been received)
Type the Day of the month Expected – this must be the same day of the month that you selected for the First Issue’s Expected Date (i.e. if you selected Mar. 22 as the First Issue’s Expected Date, the Day of the Month Expected will be 22)
Click OK
Click on the drop down arrow to verify that the pattern displayed is as you intended it to be
Click on the Serials Check-In icon which appears on the left of your screen and search for the title you have in hand
If everything appears as you expected, check in the issue and return to the MARC Holdings record to complete the updating of the record. If the Predictive Check-in record is not what you expected and you want to delete it, click on the Maintenance button and click on the Delete button
If all is as expected, in the MARC Holdings record, delete any unneeded processing notes. Keep notes that would be useful if backfile issues are retrieved (i.e. DO NOT MARK OR STAMP. FILL IN PROCESSING FORM 1; FOR USE IN LIBRARY ONLY; BARCODE, etc.). Delete any processing notes that would apply only to the issues being checked in in Predictive Checkin (i.e. ROUTE TO: PER, ADD TO CALL NO.: etc.)
Check that the Summarized Holdings statement is accurate and delete any unneeded current receipt lines.
Add field 866: |8 0 |x PREDICTIVE (Check to ensure the | is followed by an ‘x’, not an ‘a’ so it does not display to the public.)
If the frequency in the bib record needs to be updated, see serials staff in Metadata unit who will update the following fields:
008 – click on the 008 button and select the correct Frequency and Regularity. Click on OK
310: : |a [current frequency], |b [beginning year of the current frequency, if known]
321: : |a [ previous frequency], |b [beginning and/or ending year of previous frequency, if known – if frequency has changed several times, code the oldest frequency as the first field 321, etc.)
PREDICTIVE CHECK-IN RECORDS – REPLACING EXISTING RECORDS 3/12/SJ Updated 2/17/SFM
Use the following procedure when an existing predictive check-in pattern no longer reflects the enumeration, chronology or frequency for the serial in hand. Try to avoid creating a new record in the middle of a volume or year. Instead, add a note to the existing pop-up note box: “Send first issue of [next volume or year] for new predictive pattern” and edit current pattern as necessary.
From the Serials Check-in screen, click on the History button and “print screen” the Receipt History (this may not be necessary if the frequency hasn’t changed, or if you can easily make a quick note of the latest issues received and the dates they were received). You will use the printout to refer to later if you need to update the MARC holdings record or Bib record
Click on the Maintenance icon on the upper right side of the screen
Copy the notes that appear in the Component Details Note box (hint – one might find it useful to add a character such as * at the beginning of the existing record’s notes just to make it easier to distinguish between the new record and the old record until the process is completed)
Click on Save button
Click on the New button
Paste the notes you copied into the new Component Details Note box and edit the notes if needed
Click Save
Click on the Predictive Component Pattern tab (note: sometimes the system takes you back to the original record. If this happens, go to the Component box in the middle of your screen and, from the drop down menu at the right, select the last option on the list. This should take you to your new Component’s screen so you can now Click on the Predictive Component Pattern tab)
From the drop down menu, highlight the pattern that applies to the serial in hand and then click on the Start Prediction button. If no pattern exists that reflect what you will need to create one
Fill in the Value boxes as applicable to the issue in hand
In the First Issues Expected Date box, click on the ellipses and select the appropriate interval that would be acceptable to elapse before we would want to claim that issue (i.e. for a monthly or less frequent publication, choose one month from today’s date)
Fill in the Day of the Month Expected (1 … 31) box with the same date as the one selected in your First Expected Date box (i.e. if you selected the 23rd of the month as the First Expected Date, you will also have to type 23 in the Expected Date box)
Click OK
In the new window, click on the Issue: drop down menu arrow to check that the new pattern is as you intended. If the Predictive Check-in record is not what you expected and you want to delete it, click on the Maintenance button and click on the Delete button
If your new pattern is correct, you can now delete the original Predictive Component record as follows:
Go to the drop down menu beside the title’s Component: field and select the last component listed
The original Component Details screen will display (verify this is the original record by checking the Note box)
Click on the Delete button (at this point its receipt history is also automatically deleted)
The new component’s Subscription Maintenance screen will now display
Click on the Serials Check-in icon on the left side of the screen
Click on the Start Over button and search your title again. Your new check-in record will display
Check in your new issue
Revise your next Expected Issue date in the Maintenance screen if needed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If needed, update the MARC Holdings record (i.e. summarized holdings, remove nmr, urls, etc.)
If the frequency has changed, update the Bib record as follows:
008 – click on the 008 button and select the correct Frequency and Regularity. Click on OK
310: : |a [current frequency], |b [beginning year of the current frequency, if known]
321: : |a [ previous frequency], |b [beginning and/or ending year of previous frequency, if known – if frequency has changed several times, code the oldest frequency as the first field 321, etc.)
Refer all questions to Serials staff.

Definition: Material addressed to Serials that has neither been ordered nor requested by the library.
Some material may initially appear to be unsolicited, but with a further search of the library catalogue routing or processing instructions may be discovered. Always confirm that the material is addressed to Serials.
The library is on the mailing lists for some government and quasi government publications. Some government publications are also still received on deposit. (Note that with government documents, department names often change and a new record may be required. An OCLC search may help identify these changes.) See images and examples below.
UNSOLICITED MATERIAL
Definition: Material addressed to Serials that has neither been ordered nor requested by the library.
Some material may initially appear to be unsolicited, but with a further search of the library catalogue routing or processing instructions may be discovered. Always confirm that the material is addressed to Serials.
The library is on the mailing lists for some government and quasi government publications. Some government publications are also still received on deposit. (Note that with government documents, department names often change and a new record may be required. An OCLC search may help identify these changes.) See images and examples below.
When a title received in the mail is not located in the catalogue using a title or journal title search, try these other searches:
Examples:
(AR = Authority Record: use function key F7 to Retrieve an AR record)
AR# 147733 - General technical report PNW, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service, General Technical Reports, PNW-GTR, Pacific Northwest Research Station (and variations).

European Court of Auditors publications
European Union publications. If not in catalog, route to appropriate Government Document Librarian inbox.
MEMBERSHIPS, COMBINED SUBSCRIPTION, ETC.
Some ephemeral material arrives as part of a membership to a society or other organization.
Perform a Boolean search for “MEMBERSHIPS” and “[name of organization]” OR “COMBINED SUBSCRIPTION” and “[name of organization]”. Through this search a suppressed serial Dummy Acquisitions Records (DAR) created for ordering purposes ONLY may be discovered.
3. Check OCLC for possible TITLE CHANGES
Be aware of serial title changes that may not be reflected in the catalog, but that may appear initially to be an “unsolicited” item.
Perform a Boolean search of the title, publisher, or issuing body found using variations as necessary. Search OCLC to help identify a change in title.
4. If title is still not found in the catalog:
Open the “Unsolicited Folder” located on the W-drive: LTEC > Serials. Search for title. If found:
If item is still not found in the Unsolicited Folder, route material to the Metadata Supervisor (Serials) for further follow up or for:
Note that single issues of a title with closed serial holdings or an electronic version only are likely considered “unsolicited material” and may be recycled.
Always consult the Metadata supervisor (Serials) with any questions.
BRITISH COLUMBIA LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE REPORTS SJ/June 3, 2010
The University of Victoria is on the mailing list of the British Columbia Legislative Library to receive British Columbia Legislative Committee reports. These are sent at the end of each session of the Legislative Assembly. (See notice and mailing envelope attached)
Some of these reports are catalogued as monographs and some as serials. The following titles are catalogued as serials:
(Note: this title is Bind on Receipt except for subseries Annual summary of activities which is entered on this record but also entered and processed on its own record.)
Put other reports on the DOCS TO BE SCREENED bin for the Government Publications Librarian to screen. After the report is screened, send to Cataloguing.
EUROPEAN UNION (EUI) DEPOSITORY PUBLICATIONS SJ/June 15, 2012
EUI publications are received individually in the mail. Once a month, an envelope is received from Luxembourg, containing a sheet from the Publications Office. The sheet includes a “Resume of publications sent”. Please give this to Caron.
Serials check-in staff will open EUI mail and check Voyager to see if serial titles have been catalogued. If a serial record is found, the issue is entered and processed. All monographs, pamphlets, and uncataloged serials are placed in the European Union INBOX for Caron to screen. She then places the new serials, pamphlets and dups in the appropriate bins and the monographs in the Gov Pubs Gifts – Screened bin. Remove the screened monographs from the bin, put a yellow DEPOSIT slip in each one and put on the Cataloguing pick-up shelf labeled EUI.
Search new serials on OCLC and import a record if found and add the appropriate tracings. Create a holdings record, date-stamp the issue(s) and either catalog immediately or file on the New Titles Shelf. If no record is found search again later or create a provisional record.
All European Union records that are received on Deposit should include the following coding:
Bib records:
590 : : |a Distributed by the European Information Corners in Canada (EUi) depository program.
710 :2 : |a European Union.

Limited Retention Serials
These are Serials for which subject selectors have decided to retain a limited run. After a specified number of issues have published they are to be discarded or otherwise removed as the notes dictate. The retention note is an alert to the processing clerk that action may be required. Examples of some retention notes are: “Latest year only retained”, or “Current 3 months only retained” or “Latest 10 volumes only retained”.
These older retention notes are followed by directions to fill in Processing Form 3 and to update holdings both in MHLD and in the Predictive History. See*updating in MHLD. See guidelines below.
Past practice--The “old” notes read: FILL IN PROCESSING FORM 3 & UPDATE HOLDINGS IN MHLD & IN RECEIPT HISTORY (SUPPRESS FROM OPAC & ADD "=DISCARDED")
LIMITED RETENTION SERIALS—processing notes and procedures for Predictive check-in titles pd/rev./03/2017; 06/2018
New practice--When encountered, change the old notes in Predictive to read: RETREIVE ISSUES TO BE DISCARDED [EACH NEW YEAR/MONTH/VOL] & SUPPRESS FROM OPAC.
Updating MHLD--Guidelines:
When a Limited Retention record is encountered, the MHLD summarized holdings are to be updated to replace the current summarized holdings statement with delimiter z notes transferred from field 852. If the Retention statement has not already been moved to the 866 summary holdings. The result is, for example, as in the screenshot below for the title “Express” ( holdings 495305), where “Current 6 months only retained” formerly resided in the 852, but now replaces the former holdings statement in the 866 summary holdings. Careful adherence is given to the proper arrangement of field tags.
This new practice eliminates the need to update specific holdings in the MHLD each time the holdings change. As in the example above, the delimiter z note for temporary location, remains untouched.
Current practice: Analyzed serials are checked in on the serial record, processed and then routed to the appropriately labelled shelf or tray in Metadata. Serials that circulate will have a "BARCODE" note in the processing instructions. Item records are attached to the serial record NOT the monograph record. Analyzed serials will be assigned the serial call number and the PO number will be added to the holdings record in a note field of the 852. NOTE: one may find that serials analyzed retrospectively by monograph cataloguers may have had item records attached to the monograph record, not the serial record. This is not current best practice.
Monographic series do not have a separate serial catalogue record and are typically received as AU S/O's with payment information attached to a DUMMY ACQUISITIONS RECORD (DAR). The item is flagged and routed to Metadata for cataloguing.
Analyzed serial definition:
Serials in which individual issues, or volumes, are dedicated to a particular topic, reflected in the material through the use of a separate and distinctive title related to that topic. An issue of an analyzed serial will therefore contain the title of the serial, common to all issues, as well as a distinctive title describing the content of a particular issue. In addition to being part of a serial, and therefore described in the bibliographic (i.e. cataloguing) record for the serial, issues of an analyzed serial which have distinctive titles, will also be catalogued separately as monographs. Some analyzed serials will have a distinctive title on each issue or volume, others might only have a distinctive title on scattered issues (the latter are sometimes referred to as partially analyzed serials, or selectively analyzed serials).
ANALYZED SERIALS SJ / May 31, 2012
Identifying an analyzed serial from a hit list:
When calling up a serial by call number, an analyzed serial will be easily identified because the hit list will show the serial’s call number at the top, followed by one or more monograph records with the same call number to which issue-specific enumeration or chronology is added. For example:
P140 N62
P140 N62 v.1
P140 N62 v.10
P140 N62 v.11
Processing of an analyzed serial:
When an issue of an analyzed serial is received, it is first entered in the serials’s MARC holdings record or its Predictive check-in record. If it is not a periodical (bib record field 008 Type of resource=p), the issue will be also be barcoded and an item record created (if the issue is to be sent for binding, this is done after it is bound).
When the issue is sent to Cataloging to be analyzed, a separate monograph record is created to describe the issue itself. This monograph record will have a holdings record attached containing the same location code, classification number (subfield h) and cutter number (subfield i) as the serial record but will also include an additional subfield i containing the issue-specific enumeration or chronology. There should not be an item record attached to the monograph holdings record because the item record should already have been created and attached to the serials holdings record (if applicable). Occasionally, item records are erroneously created and attached to the monograph holdings records. When we run into this situation, the item record must be relinked to the serial holdings record.
Monographic series: checked in and received in Acquisitions, typically as an AU S/O with a DAR. Acquisitions green flag is filled in and inserted into the item. Item is then routed to the appropriate shelf in Metadata and catalogued accordingly.
Mono series for SC: flagged for SC and routed to SC cataloguer's pick up shelves; Mono series for law: flagged for law and routed to law cataloguer's pick up shelves; Mono series for main: routed to appropriate Metadata shelves (labeled)
Item is searched in OCLC; record is imported, catalogued, item record created, etc.
Check series authority record for any local notes on processing and classification.
Add PO number to 852 in holdings record (e.g. |x PO=1ACK83462)
Also see Metadata RDA workflow for monographs (in RDA Toolkit) as necessary.
The law library catalogue - and the technical services to support it - was once completely separate from the McPherson Library catalogue. Following the merger of the catalogues, some law technical services staff were reassigned and relocated to become part of the McPherson library's technical services staff. All order, pay, receipt as well as cataloguing of law material is done by McPherson Library staff. End processing of law material is still done by law staff.
Things to note:
Two separate records for the same title may still exist in the merged catalogue: one with a law location, one with a main location. Best practice going forward: one record with two separate locations.
Law holdings were expressed differently than main's. Best practice going forward: use main's practice to express holdings.
New PO's, location codes, and predictive check-in records had to be created after the merger of the catalogues & technical services.
Law barcodes everything, including serials. Always check for item records when updating serial records located in law. Best practice going forward: law staff continue to barcode items as before; main barcodes only annuals and less frequently published material.
Whenever possible, best practice is to align procedures so there is consistency between the libraries.

LAW Check-in and Processing Rev.GLJ/Sept.28, 2016
SFM/GLJ/Feb.21, 2013
(You may wish to use the larger AVERY label no. 02216 – There is a bit more information to include in Law call numbers!)
Extra Notes:
*Loose-leaf material: Handled by Paul/Carol in Acquisitions Unit since Sept.29, 2015 (Simply place all Law looseleaf material directly onto labelled shelf of Bay 4)
*Law Hldgs record information: Summarized holdings statements, notes, etc. can differ greatly from what you may be used to seeing in Main Hldgs records, as Law historically did not follow much of any standardized format. If you ever feel something should be updated or standardized, please forward to a serial cataloger.
*Compact Storage: Material that is going to compact storage is noted in the pop-up. The call no. will begin with “Law-CS”, rather than just “Law”.
*Ref material: The call number should already be noted in the pop-up, but in case it was missed, look for “lawref2” as the holdings location. The call no. will begin with “Law” as normal, and “Ref” is the 2nd line (not underlined).
*Periodicals: The call number should already be noted in the pop-up, but in case it was missed, note that it will say “lawper2” as the holdings location, but “per” is NOT included in the call no. Periodicals are identified simply based on their call numbering scheme of “K1 – K29”. The call no. will begin with “Law” as normal.
*Pattern changes: Changes in predictive pattern can be given to Check-in or Serials Staff to review.
*Pocket Parts: Pocket part supplements are usually thin inserts, printed on newsprint paper, typically received in a bundle or even a box if several. Sometimes also with stand-alone supplements if too large to be a pocket part. These are checked in as one entry, but they are to be individually processed at Law with full call nos. (with vol. nos.), stamping, etc., for insertion into the back pockets of their corresponding hardbound volumes. Simply write the base call no. on a yellow Law processing form and insert into the bundle, and Law will take care of the rest. (If in doubt, please see Glenda)

In the Component Details tab, paste the Law call number, and other processing notes & identifying characteristics if present/as appropriate in the Note box. Delete delimeters & spaces. Press Enter to format each instruction on its own new line. Click Save.
The Component Details tab will now be highlighted. In the Category drop down menu arrow, select the category: Basic (recent issues), Supplementary (recent supplements), Indexes (recent indexes) which describes the item for which the record is being created. These categories will display as such in the OPAC, as well as affect the hierarchy of the check-in components display in Predictive.
Return to the holdings record to view the current receipt pattern. Verify that the receipt pattern describes accurately the issue in hand.
Return to the Subscription Maintenance page. Click on the Predictive Component Pattern tab. Highlight the pattern you wish to use and then click on the Start Prediction button. If there is no pattern that reflects what you need to predict, you will need to create a new pattern.
Add the Enumeration and Chronology Value information as applicable to the issue in hand; select the First Issue’s Expected Date (i.e. the date by which you would want to claim the issue in hand if it had not been received).
Type the Day of the month Expected – this must be the same day of the month that you select for the First Issue’s Expected Date (i.e. if you select Mar. 22 as the First Issue’s Expected Date, the Day of the Month Expected will be 22).
Click OK
Click on the drop down arrow to verify that the pattern displayed is as you intended it to be.
Click on the Serials Check-in icon in the upper left corner. Click Start Over & make sure to select the NEW Predictive record. Check-in and process the issue.
Check the date of the next expected issue and adjust the date as needed. To change the date, click on the Maintenance button, click on the Predictive Component Pattern tab. In the Expected On date box, click on the ellipsis. Select the date on which the next issue is to be expected. Click OK. Click on the Change Date button. Click Yes or No to “Change the expected day by the same number of days for all subsequent issues.”
Click on the Serials Check-In icon.
Select the OLD predictive check-in record. Click on the Maintenance button. In the Component Details tab click Delete.
Return to Serials Check-In. Start Over & search again to verify that the OLD Predictive record has been deleted.

*Please give issues requiring the creation of Complex Predictive patterns to Serials s
LAW LOOSELEAF Check-in and Processing (GLJ for PT/Sept.29, 2015)
*Procedures transferred to Acquisitions Unit Staff effective Sept.29, 2015*
(Serials Staff simply place all Law looseleaf material directly onto labelled shelf of Bay 4)
(There is a bit more information to include in Law call nos. & Law call nos. can change)
Extra Notes:
*Change in edition or title: Watch for a change in edition or title! New editions or changes of title need to be given to Gail Fowler/Cataloguing Unit for review.
*Added binder(s): If new binder(s)/volume(s) issued with the looseleaf update, give to Gail Fowler/Cataloguing Unit for review as Bib & Hldgs records may need editing.
*Pattern changes: Changes in predictive pattern can be given to Serials Staff to review.
*Not found in Predictive: If the title is not found in Acquisitions module Predictive check-in search, give to Serials Staff to review. It is likely “NOT FOR PREDICTIVE”, meaning it gets checked in by Serials Staff via Voyager Cataloging module Holdings record check-in.
*Compact Storage: Material that is going to compact storage is identified by the call no. in the pop-up. The call no. will begin with “Law-CS”, rather than just “Law”.
*Ref material: The call number should be noted in the pop-up, but if not, watch for “lawref2” as the holdings location. The call no. will begin with “Law” as normal, and “Ref” is the 2nd line (not underlined).

NEWSPAPER PROCESSING
SJ/June 2012/Updated/SFM June 2019
Newspapers currently arrive via the mail (Globe and Mail included). Newspapers are delivered to the Metadata (Serials) area by mailroom staff and should be checked in before 11:00 each morning.
Procedure:
Newspapers: Check-in newspapers on CSR [Central Serial Record] cards; date-stamp, then “Newspaper” stamp top centre of front page. Staple multi-section newspaper parts together.
Flyers: Discard advertising flyers.
Supplements: Processing notes for supplements are located on the bottom of the CSR. Some supplements have their own records; others are kept with the newspaper and the “Newspaper” stamp or sticker is added to the top center of the cover.
Deliver the newspapers to the newspaper shelves.
Retention of newspapers:
Issues are discarded by Access Services staff according to the retention decision for each newspaper (check the MHLD record if in doubt). There is no need for Access staff to notify Metadata (Serials) when the issues are discarded.
NOTE: if the retention statement says “Current 4 weeks only retained” this means that 4 entire weeks plus the issues for the current week are retained.
Supplements: Considerations for Processing- Nov.13/sfm
Is it a supplement to an issue? Is it referred to in the parent issue?--Then include the parent issue enumeration in the call no.
Is it a supplement to the title? --Then add suppl. (and year if indicated) only to the call no.
Is it retained permanently?
Is it a blurb or significant?
Does it need to be noted in the “Unsolicited Folder” on the W-drive? Should it go a serial cataloger? The Gifts in Kind library assistant?
Does it need to be identified in the bib record of the parent title (see field 525 below taken from CONSER editing guide)?
Field 525 records the issuance of supplements or special issues not input as separate records (and, therefore, not recorded in field 770). Field 525 is used primarily for unnamed supplements and/or special issues, but named supplements that are not cataloged on a separate record may also be mentioned.
Input the supplement note in subfield $a.
525 ## Has numerous supplements.
525 ## Supplements accompany some issues.
525 ## Separately paged supplement accompanies v. 5.
525 ## Some issues accompanied by separately paged supplements and sections consisting principally of convention proceedings and lists of members and branch societies.
525 ## Has supplement: Exposición y aspectos metodológicos.
740 02 Exposición y aspectos metodológicos.
525 ## Vols. for 1961- kept up to date by midyear supplements. Cf. New serial titles.
Is a 740 field required (see field 740 taken from CONSER editing guide)?
Field 740 is used for title added entries that are not authoritative. "Non-authoritative" titles are those that are not represented by a name authority record or by an AACR2 CONSER bibliographic record in which that title appears in field 245. For serials, field 740 may be used for titles of sections/parts or works contained within the item that are not authoritative (e.g., supplements that are not separately cataloged). Field 740 is also used to record the title for an online version when that format is not cataloged separately and the title differs.
“We would use a 740 only if we want to provide access to the title of the supplement when it is not separately catalogued. If we think it is important to provide access to the supplement via its own title then we would also need to add a 500 or 525 note to the record, as shown in the examples provided.
Whether or not a supplement is important to mention by its own title is a bit of a judgment call. “ - ER
Input variant titles of the work being cataloged in field 246. Input titles of related works that are authoritative in field 730.
