🎨Artists' books
searb control number list in Sharepoint
Artists' Books were originally given a shelfmark comprising of a running number preceded by A e.g. A153. Those shelfmarks are now being used as unique identifiers and are recorded in the 001 field of the Bibliographic record.
There is running list of A control numbers (Identifiers). Use the first available number and ensure you delete it from the list to avoid duplication.
In the Bibliographic record use the STAX location and add the 655 Artists' books genre if it isn't already there. Record the control number/identifier in 001.
In the Item record use the location code searb, make the status available & OpacMsg = f order online
Place a flag in the Artist Book & write the A number on it. There is a template for the flags, they should be printed on archival paper. Use the flag to house the barcode.
Where 2 copies of the same publication are acquired (often to allow a sealed book to be opened & to retain a pristine copy), then part number the 2 copies in the Item record. To do this:
Use a single identifier in the 001 of the Bib record
create an item record for each copy, making copy 1 the 'part 1' by adding .1 to the identifier/control number in the item shelfmark. e.g A534 would have A534 in the 001, and then A534.1, A534.2 in the shelfmark for the corresponding item records.
Use the current location field to record the actual location. Currently we place them in the 3rd floor workroom & let Conservation know they need a permanent location. The location to use for the completed shelf in the workroom is 215;3.71;FR;3:1
