{Apologies for cross-list duplication.}

Hi folks,

As part of our strategic plan, the Hunter Library Content Organization & Management (COM) Department  (the Department Formerly Known as Technical Services) is going to take time this summer to document all of our various processes and procedures. The state of the budget in NC has us planning for the unpleasant possibility of not being able to fill empty positions; we want to be prepared.

We’ve consulted with the university’s Writing Center about style guides and templates. One suggestion she had was to get samples of similar work from colleagues. So – does anyone have documentation for tech services-type procedures (e.g. preparing journals for the bindery, ordering a replacement for a lost book, withdrawing discarded books, etc.)?  It might be a link to an online manual, or a PDF of a page or two from a printed manual – whatever you’ve got and are willing to share.   We’re especially interested in hearing from Millennium libraries.

Thanks much!

Katy G.
