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 will continue moving through the undated works in English (PR2754)
  • Amelia will also catalog the undated works in English, beginning with PR2754 39a and working backwards.  
  • Deborah will begin cataloging undated works classified by editor (PR2755) 
  • Carrie and Deborah will alternate between works and individual 18c plays, starting with Macbeth
  • Christine will be trained to catalog pre-1831 individual plays, starting with Winter's tale and working backwards
  • 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 pre-1831 individual plays, starting with Julius Caesar
  • Nadia will catalog editions of Shakespeare in the Art Vault, and other Knight illustrated editions in the undated collected works (PR2755 K7)

 

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    • spreadsheet for other copies of editions in the ShCol shelves (see General Workflow Superseded) 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