REBOXING MATERIAL FROM A COLLECTION THAT WAS AT HD

If sending material back to HD in a different size container, you must give it a new barcode and remove the old one from the manifest. To remove the old barcode, delete it from Alma and then also send an email to the Technical Services Librarian with your request. Also physically remove all old barcodes from the old housing, so there is  no confusion. See:  Returning material to HD (changed)in HD Circulation in Pusey Technical Services.

RESTRICTED MATERIAL

Restricted collection material can be categorized in ArchivesSpace on the front matter screen by the archivist. Labels don't usually need to mention the exact nature of the restriction. But we do routinely use labels that say "restricted: fragile" and sometimes also say "consult curatorial staff". Beyond that, there are some labels that say "restricted : glass" and some that specify the contents and mention the use of a surrogate, often referring to a photocopy, or an audiotape copy. As a rule, we don't normally bother to put restricted labels onto audiovisual material, since there is no way to view it currently in our Reading Room. Computers, cell phones are other examples of restricted items that don't need to be marked restricted. These items are described as restricted in the finding aids, however.

Material restricted to honor the wish of a donor is an example of a very important restriction. The Reading Room staff must be able to identify such things, and keep from inadvertently bringing them to readers. Such items might have a label that says restricted, consult curatorial staff. Or there maybe a note in the finding aid that specifies the nature, extent, and time period for such restrictions, and when they would be lifted.  This detailed information does not need to appear on any labels. The labels are not considered as "authoritative" as the specifications laid out in the finding aid, though labeling them restricted is again, very important to adhere to.
