Subject: [LIS-Forum] CD-Roms
Dear Sujata, We handle CD Roms in the following way, and found it
to be very efficient way of CD Rom management. CD's may be added to the library collections in
different ways. 1. It may be accompanied along with a book 2. It may be accompanied along with a
journal or magazine like Data quest etc. 3. You may procure it separately, independent of the
two. Rendering it in the following way is found to
be very useful. 1. When it comes with a book show it as accompanying
material of the book, but give it a separate identity and a different
accession no. 2. when it comes with a periodical, treat it in
the above mentioned way, but also add the topics dealt with within the CD
(this will be given in a nutshell on the CD), in the note field, or key
words field of the CD's database--this will be searchable from your web
OPAC or OPAC. 3. treat independant procurement in the same way and
give continuation accession no. of the cD's database. Physical arrangement for immediate access is done in
the following way: Arrange it serially and maintain it well. Use
OPAC to search, and find the exact CD, the user wants and get it at a
moment's notice. Hope this will give you some idea of how you can
handle it. Regards, Gayathri Sen, Chief Librarian & Head, PES Group of Institutions PESIT, |
