Process – non-automated schools • Send your MARC record vendor disks/files to the DLIS by May 2nd. • Complete your retrospective conversion by August 1st.
Data entry • Order barcode labels if you have items that do not have barcodes on them. • Enter your data using MARC Set Go! • Schedule a ReCAP date with Christie, or one-on-one training with Joe. • It takes about a minute per book.
