Inputting New Bibliographic Records for Print Monographs (LTS Procedure #4a)

 

Scope: This procedure provides guidelines for the inputting of bibliographic records into the Voyager system for newly acquired print monographs when no other cataloging copy is available. While all fields in our preliminary records are important, some are more critical to Marcadia matching than others and that information is annotated in red.
