Re: question about order numbers

["Eeva Stierwalt" <eeva.stierwalt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!  Here at London Public Library, we have certain staff who unbox received items, organize them so that all copies of one title are together and place them on book trucks. They then add the barcode labels to the copies.  Then, our Acquisitions staff receive the books, create the item records, and send them off to Cataloguing/Processing where they search them by barcode, check the bib, and download and overlay if necessary, etc.  This way, we don't have to write or print up any order record #.  I hope this helps!  Eeva

Hi,

Beginning this fiscal year, we will be using Millennium Acquisitions.  It looks like we will have to write the order
number on a slip of paper for each book as it is received so that cataloging can overlay it with the OCLC record.
This is the step we chose, but it seems a cumbersome task for our acquisitions department and we were wondering whether 
anyone had devised a faster, more efficient way to match each book and its order number.  What is your work flow for materials 
as they move from acquisitions to cataloging?  We could use some alternative ideas.  Thanks.
