Batch Processing
After books have been sorted into groups by action (e.g., withdraw, photocopy, box), and Materials Rquest Forms and Withdrawal Slips have been completed and signed by the Unit Head.
- Complete a Brittle Books Decision Statistics sheet
- In the Brittle Books Database, call up the record for each book in the batch by scanning the barcodes. Enter the Decision Date for each book, and for those being withdrawn or boxed, also enter the Date Out.
- Follow the routing procedures in Preservation Actions for each category
- Enter the figures from the Brittle Books Decisions Statistics Sheet into the Excel spreadsheet, "BBStats" for the current year (i.e., the spreadsheet for fiscal year July 1, 1998 - June 30, 1999 is called BBStats99)
