CORE GUIDANCE FROM OSL
- Shared bibs: Current practice is to use a single master record (material type “I”) for each title, with library-specific contact info added in the call number field. Standard numbers appear to be omitted. Some have a 250 tag (“Book club edition”), some do not. Omit this field for now.
- Common fields : A few generic entries are universal. When creating the first book club set bib for a title, include these:
- 300 (Description): 10 books + 1 notebook + 1 canvas bag.
- 500 (Note): Contact owning library to reserve.
- 740 (Added Entry): Book club in a bag.
LOCAL PRACTICES
- Price: Use $100 as a default amount for each bag. Circ staff and the CM Head may itemize fees for missing/damaged items as opposed to lost or ruined sets. This is not currently noted in a message or internal note.
- Status: Set each bag to status “o” (LIB USE ONLY).
- Call number: Include the bag number and the CM Head’s contact info here. For example: Book club bag #3: Contact NPT to reserve: [email protected]
- Location: Use znaa, not znaf/znanf (this element in the screenshot below is incorrect).
- Contents list: Include this in a message field for circ staff to reference on check-in: 1 blue canvas tote bag with library logo, 10 books, and a gold folder with discussion questions
- Individual books: Do not barcode the books themselves. In addition to the regular date and NPL stampings, the only identifier each book gets is a spine label. Follow this format, indicating the book club bag number and book number: BCB # Bk #. See an example at the bottom of the page.
