Disks and CD supplements in books

Books and their CD supplements will circulate as one unit. The manufacturer CD pouches in books vary in size and placement. These will be replaced by the Processor with a uniform pouch following local standards for processing such material.

These items will arrive from Collection Development with a bibliographic printout and a blue slip of paper to which the CD barcode is stapled. This blue slip will be treated as a flag and will travel with the book to the Processor. We will not place the CD barcode in the book. That is the responsibility of the Processor after the manufacturer's pouch is replaced.

Collection Development will create an item record for each barcode which designates the number of pieces in the bibliographic unit. This designation may be found at the bottom of the item record.

The call number will be transcribed to the left of the barcode for the book. Please use the template provided by the processing unit to guide call number placement in small books with disk pouches included.

Study guides, Manuals, Teacher’s guides, and workbooks

Volumes received as study guides, manuals, teacher’s guides, or workbooks supplementing titles we have or will receive for cataloging should be treated as an added volume and given an enumeration of suppl. If there is a disk or CD supplement to the title, then the disk or CD will remain in the volume that it supplements. The supplemental book will be given the enumeration of suppl.

Collection Development has sent some of these to Resource Management as separate titles. These may be rerouted to the cataloging assistant who handles added copies and volumes. To add the study guide as a supplement to the main title:
