At the end of the day, all books processed by the win-alt-l procedure should have been sent on.
Hardcover books should have been delivered to Circulation for discharge and shelving
Hardcover Dixon books should have their covers put on and then be delivered to Circulation for discharge and shelving
Softcover books should be prepared for binding following standard unit procedures.
No fully cataloged books should remain at your desk at the end of the day.

 

Books processed by the win-alt-n procedure (Further Processing needed pile) should be charged to ACCT and delivered to the ACCT/no hold truck.

 

Books in the Possible return/problem pile should be kept together with the invoice until the entire shipment is complete. In addition if a selector has requested that an additional copy of a title be purchased, or that a standing order be placed, those slips should be kept with the invoice and delivered to the Approval returns shelf where it will be picked up by monographic aquisitions staff for final processing.
