Redeploying Staff-Q2

To what extent are books cataloged and processed externally, arriving “shelf-ready” or "check-out ready" from vendors? Should we?

What are we already doing related to the question?

If we wanted to consider starting this initiative or expanding what we are already doing, what do we want to learn about it from our future speakers? What questions do we want to ask during our upcoming speaker series?

  1. We receive promptcat records and copy catalog using shared records from OCLC.
    Concerns about shelf-ready include risk of duplicate call numbers, handling analyzed titles, and other special cases. It would be interesting to hear how other libraries incorporate their internal practices with a shelf-ready service.
