Automated Process
Manual Process

  1. Automated Process
    • Once a month, LTS will run a query followed by a batch maintenance job to map donor information into BIB 902 fields. For 902 information supplied in batch, the value "pfnd" will be included in the 902 $a:
      • 902 ## $a pfnd $b [donor name]
  2. Manual Process
    • DMS Physical Processing staff will input BIB 902 information whenever they insert plates for specially funded Mann material that comes on Yankee blanket order or "honor with books" plates. When inputting donor name data manually, do not include a 902 $a, except for honorees:
      • 902 ## $b [donor name]
      • Examples:
      • 902 ## $b Doe, John
      • 902 ## $b Doe, J & S
      • 902 ## $b Richardson
      • 902 ## $b Addams, Morticia
      • 902 ## $a hnree $b Fester
      • 902 ## $b Cho, Il Hwan and Soon Ja Cho
