CHANGING OF THE CD CASES

As you may (or may not) have noticed, we are putting the CD’s in skinnier cases. The new cases will be filed for the public as the others are. The CD will still be in the back room to be pulled at checkout.

Checkout at Library:
1. The plastic envelope containing the booklet (or copy of the album cover with note that booklet is missing) will be brought to the Circ desk. On the front of the envelope will be the Filing Label and the cover of the booklet will be showing. On the back of the insert is the barcode tab.

2. When the CD is pulled and put in the envelope for checkout the front of the CD with the actual barcode will face the back and show through the circle in the insert. (Our hope is that the patron will return them packaged the same way.)

3. The booklet is always kept in the envelope.

Checkin at Library:
This procedure should not change from our current practices.

Checkout for the Pick List:
1. The plastic envelope containing the booklet (or copy of the album cover with note that booklet is missing) will be pulled from the CD rack.

2. When the CD is pulled it will be put in a hard plastic blank holder (one of the old cases).

3. The booklet stays in the envelope here.

4. The plastic envelope is put in the box marked “CD’s out on Inter-Library Loan” by barcode number.

5. The CD is sent to the requesting library.

Return from ILL:
1. Check the “CD’s out on Inter-Library Loan” box. If the CD has had its packaging changed then it (and its booklet) should be in there.

1. Continue with regular checkin procedures.
