- Houghton Library is a depository for John Updike publications and translations. They are gifted to Houghton by the Updike Literary Trust.
- All deposits are sent to in paige boxes to HD. The Bibliographic Assistant receives each item, assigns an accession number, catalogs it, and sends it to end-processing for ownership labels and plates only, with instructions to return it to the Bibliographic Assistant. Items are stored in a paige box until it is full. One item record in Aleph is selected for the paige box barcode. All other items receive H77 fields in their holdings, linking back to the ‘barcoded’ item record. If a patron requests any one of the titles, the entire box will be recalled from HD.
