Where should I start cataloguing?

Plan each cataloguing session well to avoid missing items out; we suggest cataloguing each section of the library during individual sessions. Fiction may be easier to start with as the key wording is generally less demanding. Thereafter work through Non-fiction, Reference stock and finally non-book items (e.g. videos, audio tapes).

Insert each barcode label with every new item to the catalogue so that the user will always know which items have been entered into the system (i.e. Label = stored; no label = not stored).

Remembering the order in which the user applies barcode labels is not important. However, if the user has ordered an MLS cataloguing day, the barcodes should be entered sequentially. Please contact MLS for an instruction sheet.
