The Music and Media Unit is responsible for the processing of most Music and Media material.  This includes: soft bound scores, CDs, DVDs, Curric Collection kits, and other various Music and Media material.  The metal shelves on Pillar D-9 (to the right of our processing area) have been designated and labelled to act as a holding bay for items requiring Music and Media processing.

Hard bound scores without parts (i.e. do not require the creation of pockets, etc.) are placed on the truck for regular processing.

For scores, print call number in pencil on title page verso.

For sound recordings, include accession number on post-it note or paper with call number visible inserted in container.

Upon completion of cataloguing, place any material requiring Music and Media processing directly onto the designated shelves of Pillar D-9.  Music and Media staff will periodically check and pick up from the designated shelves.

RUSH for Music and Media processing:

• email  libmedia@uvic.ca , to let M&M know there is a RUSH processing item awaiting pick-up.

Refer to the SCUA Item Records, Processing and Locations Section.
