Item Records for Single Items

Owned by Adrien Hilton
It's important to create an item record at time of cataloging. It may be a placeholder with a "dummy" barcode until end-processing is complete but it ensures that the item is requestable in the reading room.
There are four important fields to fill out in the item record: Barcode, Material type, Item policy, and Description.
| Field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Barcode | Generate a dummy barcode while awaiting end-processing | |
Material type | Manuscript or Photograph | Use "Manuscript" for single items that have an associated "m" in the bibliographic record LDR byte 7. These single items can be any format: artwork, graphic, map, music, object, etc. Use "Photograph" for single photographs. |
| Item policy | Special Collections requestable (91) | |
| Description | If the single item is going in a box please enumerate in the Description field as Box 1, otherwise leave blank. |
