Workplan General Cataloging Provisions

Workflow

1. Catalogers retrieve books in groups, filling out a single call slip for all contiguous volumes, and move them to a personal shelf or truck.
   
2. Catalogers under review: once a batch of items (about 6-12) has been cataloged, the cataloger carefully proofreads the saved records in Connexion; when satisfied that they are correct and complete
   
• In Connexion, the cataloger also changes the drop-down option in My Status (Alt-Shift-S) to “In Review.” 
3. Catalogers released from review: Feel free to ask DJL or another cataloger to look at difficult or complex records; otherwise, return the books to the Reading Room. Independent catalogers are strongly urged to proofread their own work after some time has passed, and to check the record in the opac.    
   
4.  
5. Once the collected editions have been completed, the catalogers will return to the individual plays, starting with Julius Caesar.
6. Once the ShCol shelves have been completed, several other areas and sources of information will be checked 

• spreadsheet for other copies of editions in the ShCol shelves (see General Workflow Superseded)
  
• art shelflist for ART Vols a-b and e-f
• Ex.ills. in the Art Vault (any found need to be reclassified as "cage" or as ART Vol. a or b, depending on content)
• promptbooks in the PROMPT collection
• Shakespeare editions on Deck B
• official file
• public catalog
