22 Process

23 Process

24 Process

25 Process Survey Problem: This is long, slow work! Solution: Why wait? Survey and cataloging can be simultaneous

35 Process Moving into production mode: First batch of serials transferred Work divided by ESM catalogers Start with one box, then send sample records to SFC staff and Special Collections Technical Services for feedback Problem: What do we do about these crazy boxes? Problem: How does this display in Aeon?

36 Process Moving into production mode: First batch of serials transferred Work divided by ESM catalogers Start with one box, then send sample records to SFC staff and Special Collections Technical Services for feedback Problem: What do we do about these crazy boxes?
