Streamlining Technical Processing for Library Services
In the technical processing workflow of a library, utilizing tools like copy cataloging macros can significantly improve efficiency and accuracy. This involves checking for copy cataloging status, running fix routines, and updating catalog records. While these macros offer benefits such as saving time and reducing errors, they also come with challenges like requiring programming expertise and occasional freezing issues. The process includes tasks like searching multiple book lists from vendors, checking each book by ISBN, author, title, and series title. Additionally, methods like emailing spreadsheets of book lists and running programs to check against local holdings are employed to streamline the process in the Asia Technical Services Division at the University of Michigan.
