Upgrade adaptive or existing cataloging to AACR2-R standards, whenever possible. Make a local note giving the collection inventory number, for those items which have an inventory number. 2 is 1974 printing. Add donor information note, field 541. Label and link items by means of acid-free strips with barcodes attached and the call number written or typed on.
Most items have gift plates attached, and many are marked with inventory numbers.
Items will be targeted. Fragile or damaged items will be reviewed by Preservation Dept., and repaired or rehoused as needed, before being sent for cataloging.
