The Cataloging Department processes materials in the order they are received. Two additional factors influence the processing of materials: |
- Materials shipped from library media centers will be processed in batches of up to 60 items at a time. Shipments over 60 items will be broken into batches and cataloged on a rotation schedule. This ensures equitable access to cataloging services for all libraries.
- In accordance with a district directive, the Librarian Cataloger will process Spanish language items first.

The Cataloging Department has some remaining materials for covering and repairing book jackets. Teacher-Librarians are welcome to use these materials in the Cataloging Department office or take whatever they need back to their libraries. Please contact us for more information. | |

Inventory wands will be housed in the Cataloging Department beginning June 6, 2009. All checkout reservations must be made through Amy DelCastillo. There are 7 wands. As a courtesy to others, please request no more than 2 wands for 2 weeks at a time. Please note that during the summer term, teacher-librarians will be responsible for picking up and dropping off inventory wands at the Cataloging Department in the Education Center. |
