- Houghton Library is a depository for all New Directions publications.
- All deposits receive a current accession number and a Houghton call number—if the author has already been established at in Houghton's main classification scheme. If no Houghton author has been established, the item will receive an LC call number.
- Deposits are shipped in bulk to HD. Send items through end-processing for ownership labels and plates only, with instructions to return them to the Bibliographic Assistant. Store them in a paige box until it is full. Select one item record in Aleph to link with the paige box barcode. Create H77 fields in the holdings of all the other items, linking back to the ‘barcoded’ item record. If a patron requests any one of the titles, the entire box will be recalled from HD.

When the paige box is full, select a book that will serve as the box's barcoded item record. In Aleph, create an item record for that book. Systematically go through the rest of the box contents, creating H77's in each of their Aleph holdings, linking back to the selected book record. Open a Word document and create a box list as you do this, with the title of the first book at the top, in bold, accompanied by Hollis number. List the rest of the titles and their Hollis numbers underneath alphabetically. When H77s and box list are complete, print out the box list on perma paper for inclusion with the books. Create a routing slip for the box.
