Electronic Standing Orders (Monographic Series)

 

 

 

July 15, 2022

UVic DocStore and Misc. Links E-journal collection in Alma. PDF's sent to serials@uvic.ca and uploaded to Docstore by Metadata staff.

Background:

Suppressed DAR's for each "emailed PDF subscription" migrated  to Alma.

A local collection -  UVic DocStore and Misc. Links. - was created and activated in the CZ for these subscribed titles. All but one title. Monkey: new writing from Japan, was linked to a CZ record. The DAR for Monkey: new writing from Japan was unsuppressed.

Follow up: Create a local e-journal record for Monkey and suppress the DAR?? Or submit a case and ask that the record be added to CZ?

Receipt of One Time Purchases (Physical)

Rough outline of Rush/Notify process:

 

  • We may get requests for Rush or Notify via various channels at point of order:
    • Via GOBI note from a selector
    • From Course Reserves via GOBI selection folder
    • Via email - orders@uvic.ca ; [non-preferred: personal emails]
    • We need to communicate to selectors that it is Rush OR Notify when possible (include those words exactly) - assumption of Notify is that it's just an alert, NOT put on hold
  • POL Interested Users Tab:
    • If you know at point of order that ordering for rush/person; add a receiving note ; do NOT select Routing during receiving because that doesn't mean anything to us
    • Add interested user: when received a letter gets emailed
    • on intereste users tab also have to select:
      • Notify user upon receiving / activation -> use for true Notifies, do not tick for Rush - use Hold Item instead
      • Hold item --> Q: for us do we select this in Acq. at time of Order? YES for true Rush (indicated as Rush on blue flag)
      • NOtify upon cancellation (not used here usually - maybe just for continuations subscription)
  • Once material is ordered there may be additional requests place on the item:
    • Via Access Services/Fulfillment [need clarification from Access: would they just direct user to put a Request on it in Primo instead?]
      • Do they give us blue slips still? yes for now - goes to Sherry's mailbox, and then people in Acq. know when to check that [Carol and Paul check those]. Slip indicates Rush/Notify/Course Reserve
      • Access checks when get Rush request the cataloguing shelf - if they find it, then they'll put flag in book and bring over for Rush Cataloguing shelf ; if they can't find it, it goes to Sherry's mailbox to put with the item when it comes in
    • Via Primo directly [Q: does that go to a Fulfillment list? OR hopefully an alert when they scan it in at the service desk or stack maintenance]
  • When we receive the material:
    • If a Rush / Notify request was placed already before Receiving (which should be the case), then there would be an "Interested User" attached to the POL and some indication of whether it's just a notify or a rush
      • Rush in the REceive New Material screen: seems to be triggered by a "Interested User" and "Hold" or just "Notify" but need to confirm
    • When you click on Receive, notification is sent if the user is an Interested User
    • If a Rush, then the Hold option would have been selected on the POL interested users tab - if it hasn't then tick the HOld box on that tab now
    • Acq. member adds Rush/Notify flag to the item
    • If it's shelf-ready:
      • Rush/for hold: 
        • if for course reserves, bring it over to course reserves shelf
        • if for access services: Rush/Hold for Fulfillment/Access Services space labelled -> for where Access picks up material [Need to define and label this] -> or maybe with metadata rushes? even though they don't need processing, will need to go down to hold shelf - maybe put shelf/ready and non-shelf ready rushes together with indication of whether it needs to be processed
      • If a Notify, it just goes with the regular material for shelving
    • If it's not shelf-ready:
      • rush/for hold:
        • go to the rush cataloguing shelf to be rush catalogued
        • cataloguer puts it on Rush pick up spot for Access [to be confirmed]
    • Service desk picks up from 260 (main or law):
      • scan the items in and should be alert to put this on hold for patron - goes on hold shelf? with slip? If non-shelf ready, they woudl process it
      • Patron gets alerted and picks up material

GOBI One Time Physical Receiving

FYI: GOBI subaccounts -09,-10, -60, and -69 are non-approval accounts that have been set up for shelf ready services. All will have been ordered and initial records (Bibs and POLs) will have been brought into Alma via API. For these subaccounts, an Update Inventory profile has been set up (one for each account) that will update the bib record with an updated OCLC record, populate the call number in the holdings record, and add a barcode to the item record. NOTE: As of January 26, 2023 these import profiles bring call numbers in from the 090 field - whatever call number (050 or 055) has been assigned to the item by GOBI and on the spine label.

  1. Physical material from GOBI will be placed in Bay 1
  2. In Alma, go to the Receving workbench (Acquisitions --> Receiving and Invoicing --> Receive)
  3. From the Receive New Material screen, select the One Time tab
    1. This will list all resources that have been ordered and are waiting to be received
  4. Search for your title
  5. Once you've found the appropriate title ...
  6. Is the title shelf-ready?
  • Yes the title is "shelf-ready." 
    • Inspect the physical item. Is the barcode in the correct place? If not, alert Dean or Sherry: these will be reported to GOBI. If possible, remove the barcode and place it correctly.
    • Is the barcode in the item record in Alma?
      • If it isn't there, add it
      • If it is, check to make sure that the barcode on the item matches the barcode in Alma - if they don't match, update the item record in Alma with the barcode that is on the item. Once the barcode on the item and in Alma match, go to the next step.
    • Does the call number on the spine label match the call number in the holdings record in Alma?
      • If yes, then the item is not problematic - select the tickbox to the left of the item in the Receiving task list - and at the top of the screen deselect "Keep in Department" - do not tick "Shelf Ready" and click on Receive
      • If the call numbers on the item and in the holdings records do not match (or if there is no call number in the holdings record)  - select "Keep in Department" at the top of the page and choose "Shelf Ready Problems" from the drop down - place on the Shelf Ready Problems shelf
      • Has the item been ordered for the curr location in McPherson? If so and a Dewey classification number has not been added to the spine label and the Alma record (instead of LC Classification), it should be sent to the "Shelf Ready Problems" shelf - select "Keep in Department" at the top of the page and choose "Shelf Ready Problems" from the drop down
      • Take a look at the bibliographic record in Alma and teh spine label  - does it have a 055 with a call number in the PS8000s OR beginning with FC? If so, the call number label and Alma holding record will both need to reflect that Canadian call number. Add to Shelf-Ready Problems shelf if the holdings/spine label does not match the 055 with these call numbers
      • NOTE: YOU MAY NOTICE THAT A CALL NUMBER IS NOT PRESENT IN THE HOLDINGS RECORD. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN SEND IT TO THE "SHELF READY PROBLEMS" SHELF - select "Keep in Department" at the top of the page and choose "Shelf Ready Problems" from the drop down
  • No the title is not "shelf-ready
    • If it needs to go to Metadata for Cataloguing - select "Keep in Department" at the top of the page and choose "Cataloguing" from the drop down list - Click on Receive.
    • If it needs to go to Metadata for Rush Cataloguing - select "Keep in Department" at the top of the page and choose "Rush Cataloguing" from the drop down - Click on Receive.

What do I do with the physical item?

  1. If the material is Shelf-Ready and by-passes the Metadata Unit - place on the shelf/truck for Access Services to pick up
  2. If the material is NOT shelf ready - place it on the appropriate shelf for Cataloguing, the Shelf-Ready Problem Shelf, or the Rush Cataloguing Shelf in Metadata
  3. At this point - the Item will have an appropriate Status in Alma (and Primo) - either In Transit if moving directly to Access Services or Technical Services if passing on to Metadata.
  4. NOTE: only records with Items can be assigned Work Order Statuses
  5. If you did not receive the item and select "Keep in Department" and want to change the status manually go to Fulfillment --> Scan In Items. Select "Cataloguing" (or other category) from the drop down and scan in the barcode

When receiving "ref" material, whether for the main stacks or "ref" location, current best practice is to barcode the item in hand and add a FOR USE IN LIBRARY ONLY label to the item. The item policy should be noted as "nocirc".  The section on Ordering Law Material provides background and order details

GOBI Import Profiles

Import profiles have been set up in Alma to retrieve files from GOBI's ftp server and add information to GOBI.

GOBI API Orders

As of January 26th, 2023 all ordering is done via GOBI API (material will no longer be sent automatically via GOBI Approval Plans).It should be noted that this process is spelled out in the technical specifications and does not require an Import Profile into Alma.

When you order in GOBI via API, a brief bibliographic record, holding, item, and purchase order line will be automatically created in Alma.

GOBI Update Inventory Profiles

Update Inventory Profiles replace the initial brief bibliographic record brought into Alma via API, overlays the holdings with shelf-ready call number assigned by GOBI, and adds a barcode to the item record.

The only option for matching with Update Inventory profiles is the POL No.

As of January 26, 2023, whatever call number has been assigned by GOBI (050 or 055) will be placed in the 090 of the incoming record and that will be the source of the call number in the import profile.

Receipt of Continuous (Physical) Material

Draft - (PROCESSES TO BE CONFIRMED) In process/Susan/October 13, 2022-

General Information:

Always set location to  Mearns-McPherson Library - MAIN Acquisitions Department.

Receive purchased items via Acquisitions > Receive > Receive New Material > "Continuous" tab.

Procedures apply to both Law and Main locations, but NOT SCUA material.

Set aside all material ordered and located in Special Collections and Archives (SCUA). Follow separate SCUA procedures for receipt of all SCUA material.

Call Numbers: Call number format for active orders may be updated within the holdings to reflect new best practice established with migration to Alma.

Barcodes: Apply Priestly barcodes to law material; and McPherson barcodes to main material. Affix barcodes top center on item cover, regardless of library or location.

Mail: Separate main and law material. Further separate loose leaf materials from serial material. Set aside any monographic standing orders (AU S/O's).

Unsolicited material: See spreadsheet on W-drive > LTEC > Serials

Series Authorities: Local notes (field 667 with |5 CaBViV) / Local authorities no longer present in Alma. For series received as gifts or on deposit: Series titles with local processing note will be added to the Unsolicited folder. (Spreadsheet of Voyager AR's created and filed for reference if necessary.) [Follow up: For S/O's received on DAR: Can info in 667 field be added here for cataloguer?]

Instruction notes for Law Staff: Items will be flagged; Standardized notes (uppercase) will be recorded in the holdings field 852 |x

Shelving: For items without item records, stacks staff will watch for non receipt of issues and/or duplicate issues and advise orders@uvic as necessary. Duplicate issues may be returned to Acquisitions and/or discarded as appropriate.

Holdings: Rely on the summarized holdings statement - not the presence or absence of item records - and check stacks as necessary to confirm holdings.

Items: In general, item records are not created for each periodical item, but may be created for annuals and less frequently published material. Note both Enumeration and Chronology in item records. These will now both print on the call number label. (This is a change from Voyager practice.) Some bound journals may also have item records attached (and coded item type "nocirc" or "law-ncirc"). Migrated item records attached to periodicals were assigned the material type of  "issue" [to be confirmed].

Alma's predictive functionality will not be implemented.

 

Follow up:

  • "PREDICTIVE", "NOT FOR PREDICTIVE", AND "NON PREDICTIVE" notes to be removed from holdings record (Field 866 ##). Further cleanup of holdings notes also required. Note that "Versions" of holdings records can be viewed via the MDE " View Related" tab.
  • Update processing notes and spreadsheet (W-drive > LTEC > Serials)
  • Update LibGuide tabs to "Continuous"  and "Standiing Order" to reflect receipt process in Alma.
  • Receiving notes "ADD TO CALL NUMBER: VOL." still necessary? Information pulled from the item record which includes enum. and chronology
  • Rep-Can; Dig-Can, etc. : Rep-Jur, Dig-Jur, etc.  "rubric" printing on spine label. Delete "rubric". Spine-O-Matic to be updated. GLJ to update location tables. No rubric necessary.

Notes: Update POL type to Physical Standing Order - Non monograph???; Dean toggled on this option October 20022

Law Continuations - General Notes:

  • Law POL's for monographic sets may need to be updated from Print Journal - Subscription to Standing Order - non monographic
  • Monographic sets kept up to date with replacement or reissue volumes, supplements, etc. : BARCODE bound volumes: withdraw (delete) item record of replaced volumes
  • Rep-Jur: Should not appear on call number (but currently does when scanned via Spine-O-matic). Update needed. jur=jurisdiction of law report

  • Receiving notes/Shelving instruction notes need to be updated
  • For continuations: neither the call number nor the MMS ID need to be written on verso t.p. (barcode/call number label now affixed before item is sent to law)
  • Update call number format for law continuations? Have done a few as test
  • Continue to add material type and item policy for law material? How to know what to select from drop down menus? "Duplicate" function will autofill material type: leave as is; No longer necessary to select item policy from drop down as location determines circulation.
  • Scan in continuation items to indicate in transit for reshelving/shelving? Yes

Formatting Law "Receiving note":

  • Note call number on the first line: Law Rep-Can A8 C7526
  • For titles with multiple parts (and parts replaced): Note each part in lower case followed by receiving note in UPPERCASE. (e.g. Bound volumes: CREATE ITEM AND BARCODE. For an example, see: British Columbia Law Reports). Separate parts with a line break; Separate notes within each part with a semi colon.

Holdings:

  • Add "Shelving Notes" for law staff in field 852, subfield |x
  • Delete field 583 if notes are outdated (i.e. notes pre merge with main)

Reserves: TBD 11/22

Receipt - DUMMY ACQUISITIONS RECORDs (DARs)

Draft notes:

DUMMY ACQUISITIONS RECORDS (DAR's) are created for order and payment purposes only. The bibliographic records is suppressed.

Separate bibliographic, holdings, and item records are created for items received on DAR's. The item is linked to the DAR via the POL field in the item record.

Items received on DAR's include monographic Series, MEMBERSHIPS, COMBINED SUBSCRIPTIONS, All publications, etc. DAR's may have a purchase type of one time; continuous or standing order.

See Metadata Unit  > Libraries and Locations > Special Collections when ordering and receiving SCUA items.

General:

1. Search for item title and/or DAR in Alma repository. (Mono series: Watch for volumes added  (A/V) to a title already catalogued AND part of a monograph series. e.g. Eneados.) View POL.

2. Determine POL type.

  • One time
  • Continuous
  • Standing Order

3. As necessary: Quick cataloguing: Resources > Create Inventory > Add Physical Item. BARCODE and link item to POL. Flag and send to cataloguing

4. As necessary: Flag and route to Metadata (Flag to be updated: No more A/R; POL, no. PO noted on slip?)

5. Questions:

  • How to connect quick catalogue item to DAR? via POL in item ; or associate at the holdings level as appropriate
  • How to add 561/other gift notes?: Via MDE > Editing Actions > Add Field (F8). Field will sort upon Save. > Release Record
  • For follow up/TBD: When to create a technical order and associate with DAR

 

SCUA material received on DARs: Do not create brief bib records, holdings or items. Do not barcode or label or stamp. But do:

1. Ensure 561 Provenance note is present in DAR

A normalization rule has been added to the Metadata Editor (MDE): UVic Add 561 Purchased Note for SC. Note that field 561 notes are not added to material purchased for arc locations.

To add this note to a DAR:

  • Open the bib record in the MDE

  • Under Editing Actions > "Enhance the Record" > UVic Add 561 Purchased Note for SC

  • Update the 561 field with relevant information for item in hand > SAVE

Draft notes/SF/10/23

For POL type, consult Acquisitions supervisor as necessary. In most instances, memberships that included a print resource migrated as POL type Print Journal - Subscription.

In Voyager, best practice was to add a 500 field to the DAR bibliographic record for each resource received on the membership. Resources received on the DAR may be print or electronic, a monograph -  or part of a monographic series - or a serial or a mix of formats and titles.

Unsolicited

Can't find an item in the repository? See the Unsolicited Folder on the W-drive (LTEC > Serials)

Unsolicited serial material we've decided to retain will have a record in the repository. The Method of Acquisition in holdings field 008 is coded  g= Gift

Gifts and Deposit material with open holdings:

Current receipt will be reflected in the summarized holdings statement via open holdings as well as coding in field 008: "Receipt, acquisition or access status" = 4 Currently received. Process and route material as appropriate. BARCODE as indicated. (Via "List of Items" > + item. Add barcode and update fields as necessary. i.e. Material type; Recieving date; Enum. & Chron.; Copy ID) See appropriate Item Field Guide.

Gifts and Deposit material with closed holdings:

Closed holdings will be reflected in the summarized holdings statement as well as the coding in field 008:  "Receipt, acquisition or access status" = 5 Not currently received. This material should only be added if it has been flagged by the GIK coordinator and placed on the appropriate "Add to holdings" shelf. A serials cataloguer will then update the holdings and bibliographic record as necessary before routing the material to its appropriate location.

Gifts for SCUA locations: Gifts with open holdings located in SCUA: DO NOT MARK OR STAMP. Fill in PROCESSING FORM 1 and place on appropriate shelf for pick up by SCUA staff.

Gifts with an arc location, open holdings and received via the GIK coordinator(e.g. The Martlet and The Ring): Processed at point of receipt by the GIK coordinator and placed on the appropriate shelf for pick up by SCUA staff.

Missing issues of serials coded as gifts and located in SCUA are claimed by SCUA staff as appropriate.
