Priorities

• Pre-1900 collected editions in English
• Individual 18th-century plays in English
• Shakespeare in the Art Vault

Workplan (as of 23 August 2012)

• All catalogers will work on cataloging the Shakespeare Collection
• Carrie 100%
• Eric 95%
• Amelia 95%
• Deborah 67%
• Nadia 50%
• Ron 50%
• Christine 2 days a week
• Eric and Amelia will continue moving through the dated works in English
• Carrie and Deborah will alternate between works and individual 18c plays; Carrie will pick up the individual plays with Julius Caesar
• Christine will be trained to catalog individual plays; she will continue to add tracings to records generated by other catalogers.

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• spreadsheet for other copies of editions in the ShCol shelves (see General Workflow Superseded)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
