High priorities

  • Pre-1900 collected editions in English: deadline 30 April 2013
  • Individual 18th-century plays in English: deadline end of extended grant period
  • Shakespeare in the Art Vault deadline 30 April 2013

 

Lesser priorities

  • Collected editions in translation
  • Individual plays in translation
  • School series

 

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
  • Christine will be trained to catalog individual plays;
  • Christine will continue for the time being to add tracings to records generated by other catalogers. We will revisit this decision in a couple of months; it may be more expedient to have Christine catalog full time and take on an intern to trace headings 
  • Ron will catalog individual plays
  • Nadia will catalog editions of Shakespeare in the Art Vault 

 

As we near the original grant deadline (30 April 2013), catalogers working on individual plays may be pulled to work on collected editions.

 

 

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    • spreadsheet for other copies of editions in the ShCol shelves (see General Workflow Superseded) 
    • promptbooks in the PROMPT collection
    • Shakespeare editions on Deck B
    • official file
    • public catalog

 

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. See Preparation
  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 independent 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, preferably in batches after a little time has passed, and to review the record in the opac as the final step.
