Processing of "mixed media" materials
(print with nonprint accompaniments, nonprint with print accompaniments)
Acquisitions:
It is the policy and practice of the Acquisitions Department to fully identify in receipt records all material received, whether monographic or serial in nature.
Mixed media materials will be received and processed in the Acquisitions Department as follows:
A mixed format receipt is indicated on the check-in grid. If, for example, a book and a CD-ROM are received, the book would appear on the grid and the non-print media would appear in a line note. An asterisk is placed in the Action column of the check-in screen to indicate that a note is associated with that issue. Retrieve the note by placing an S over the asterisk and depressing the F9 key. Acquisitions will forward the entire receipt with a Mixed Media Slip. The slip will reflect the main piece and all associated items.
The main piece of a periodical is checked-in on a grid. Any additional, mixed format piece will appear in a line note. An asterisk is placed in the Action column of the check-in screen to indicate that a note is associated with that issue. Retrieve the note by placing an S over the asterisk and depressing the F9 key. This mixed format unit will be identified on a Mixed Media Slip and delivered to the appropriate periodicals or TSD unit.
When it is known at the time of issuing a purchase order that the title being ordered will arrive with accompanying items, the purchase order will reflect either in the title or in Notes to Vendor exactly what Acquisitions expects to receive. When the receipt is mixed media, the receiving clerk in Acquisitions will annotate the order record in Order Edit with exactly what was received. The material will in all cases be identified on a Mixed Media Slip and delivered to the appropriate Cataloging Unit.
