For a small collection (2 boxes or under):
- Fill-out the Manuscript Collection and Single Item Tracking Form, (to see drop-downs, open in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC).the online Labeling
- Update the AEON record (with the permanent call number) to show the collection is moving to End-processing and print out a copy. Tear the copy in half.
- Send one half of the AEON form to the stacks to be a place-holder for the material (make sure it shows that it is now checked out to End-processing)
- If there is an AEON paper record shelved at a now obsolete number [such as MS Storage OR an accession number], pull that paper record and toss
- Deliver the boxes of the collection, the Tracking Form, and the other half of the AEON slip to the Manuscript End-processing unit (to the Manuscript Processing Assistant).
