Using an Electronic Shelflist **


 * Policy:** The library media center will use an electric shelflist in order to maintain an official record of the collection.

1. Maintain the shelflist, preferably in paper form for special collections, in a secure area.  2. If the shelflist is electronic, it should be secure from tampering and a backup should be stored off-site on a external drive.  3. Since the shelflist indicates precisely where each item should be located, and because it contains copy-specific information about special collections materials, its maintenance and security are vital for detecting and recovering thefts.  4. Shelflists should be reviewed each year during inventory maintenance.
