Repair

General repair shelf

This shelf is located below the general binding shelves. Use for all materials (except for items in the locked stack) for which repair instructions are listed on the green repair slip. All information/instructions should be filled out. If the necessary repair is not listed, place on the special repair shelf.

Special repair shelf

This shelf is located across from Rich’s desk under the notify shelves and next to the CDs. Use this shelf for materials requiring a repair that is not listed on the green repair slip. Fill out all the general information at the top; Rich will complete the lower section.

Green repair slip

The green repair slip is for noting various types of damage to materials that require that the item be sent to Repair. Anyone may fill out this slip; please use it instead of a yellow routing slip.

In completing the repair slip, please fill in as much information as you have. Unless the item is not yet cataloged, this means the entire upper half of the slip, excluding the high use/etc. area which we generally leave blank. Guidelines for filling out specific areas are given below.

Check the repair(s) required on the list given. If the necessary repair is not listed, put on Rich’s special repair shelf. He will complete the form.

Guidelines for filling out the slip

Call number: 1 section of the call number per line. The call number does not include shelving locations.

Repair instructions: Most are self-explanatory. A couple clarifications:

Pam bind: Only for items larger than 34 x 35 cm. Other pam binds go directly on the pam bind shelf.

Tip-in: Use only for actual repairs or new bindings with more than 2 pages of tip-ins; tip-ins of 1-2 pages in new bindings can go directly to End Processing.
