I.\u00a0 White paper envelope fiche<\/p>\n
A.\u00a0 Microfiche arriving in white paper envelopes should be opened the same day it arrives.\u00a0 There will be nothing in the envelope except the fiche.\u00a0 Remove the fiche, in its protective sleeve, from the outer envelope.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
B.\u00a0 Take note of the titles and separate the \u201cCode of Federal Regulations\u201d from the other titles.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

II.\u00a0 White cardboard \/grey bag envelope fiche.<\/p>\n
A.\u00a0 Bundles of microfiche will arrive in one of the three kinds of envelope with one or more shipping lists.\u00a0 Pull the entire group out of the envelope; do not remove the rubber bands from around the fiche\u2014these bands keep fiche with the same item number together and make it easier to find which shipping list they are on.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
B.\u00a0 Check off the shipping list number from the weekly email of shipping list numbers sent by Marcive.\u00a0 (N.B. As of 03\/2009, the contractor sending these grey bag fiche is far, far behind the Marcive email.\u00a0 Keep a separate list of those lists that have arrived and periodically check it against what should have arrived.)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
C.\u00a0 Date stamp the top of the shipping list.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
D.\u00a0 Find the title of the fiche on the shipping list.\u00a0 Since the title on the fiche is often fragmentary, you must pay close attention to the SuDoc number on the fiche (located on the upper left-hand corner of each piece of fiche) to ensure it matches the number provided on the shipping list.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
E.\u00a0 Before checking off the item on the shipping list, count the number of leaves in each protective sleeve to ensure that they are all present.\u00a0 Place the check mark on the shipping list next to the SuDoc number, not next to the item number as there can be more than one sleeve of fiche assigned to an item number.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
F.\u00a0 As you check off the titles, sort the fiche into piles of monographs, serials, and items going to Law.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
G.\u00a0 For items going to the Law Library, place the date stamp on the right side of the front face of the white paper protective sleeve into which the fiche is inserted. \u00a0Place the fiche in an envelope addressed to the Law Library (Gov Docs), and place it on the Law shelf for pick up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
H.\u00a0 Items that stay in Ellis should be date stamped on the right side of the front face of the protective sleeve into which the fiche is inserted.\u00a0\u00a0 Place the DOCS-MF stamp on the left side of the front face of the protective sleeve.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
J.\u00a0 Report the shipping list numbers and the total number of monographic fiche that arrived to your supervisor so that the item\u2019s status may be updated.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
H.\u00a0 Give all serials titles to Serials Check-in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I.\u00a0 If a piece of fiche is on the shipping list, but not included in the shipment, you will need to claim it.\u00a0 See the section \u201cClaim Procedures\u201d for more information.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
III.\u00a0 Item records for monographic fiche<\/p>\n
A.\u00a0 White paper envelope fiche are always serials and will not have individual item records.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
B.\u00a0 Monographic fiche will have temporary (brief) bibliographic records provided by Marcive, to which the item record is attached.\u00a0 Note that the load of the records does not necessarily correspond with the shipment of the physical items.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
C.\u00a0 For each monographic title, the item record (after updating) should have the following information:<\/p>\n
Loc: cedmi<\/p>\n
Label loc: DOCS-MF<\/p>\n
ICode2: g<\/p>\n
IType: 176<\/p>\n
Item status: – (not checked out)<\/p>\n
SuDoc number<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
D.\u00a0 As with paper items, our definition of serial does not always agree with others\u2019 definition.\u00a0 Be sure that you have separated serial titles from monographic titles according to our definition and that you do not have an item record for a serial on a monographic record.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
E.\u00a0 In some cases, Marcive does not provide a brief bib for a monograph; the fiche item should attach to the full bibliographic record for the paper item.<\/p>\n
Be aware that our Law Library always attaches their fiche to the paper bib, even if a brief bib is available.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
IV.\u00a0 Distribution<\/p>\n
A.\u00a0 Give all serial titles to Serials Check-in.\u00a0 These titles include many with which you are familiar from their paper copies, but you will also see titles such as:\u00a0 Official Gazette\u2026; SEC Docket; Report of Activity (committee reports).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
B.\u00a0 After your supervisor updates the status of the fiche item records (instructions below), place the monographic fiche on the Docs shelf for pick up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
