Overview
- 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 Houghton. 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.
