BOOKS (from browsing collections of other libraries, Widener, etc.)
Sometimes a printed book with annotations is cataloged as a manuscript. But sometimes we receive collections of bound volumes from other libraries for processing and sending offsite. The old call number from the other library is not always changed. Books in good physical condition should have the barcode labels attached to outside covers. Barcodes should be placed in the upper-left-hand corner of books, with the spine facing left. An alternative barcode location for books transferred from browsing collections is at the top of either the front or back book cover. No books can be accepted at the Depository with barcodes more than one-inch from the top of either cover or on the inside of either cover. Fragile books should be stored in protective acid-free envelopes, wrappers, or boxes, with one barcode attached to the outside of each container (in the upper left-hand corner), and a duplicate barcode may be affixed to the actual book. The preparation and barcoding of fragile items is described in more detail in the following section (Preparing Fragile Books For Transfer).
