NEW BOOKS is a temporary location: Usually a cataloger will add the permanent location (Black, Main, etc) and then also pick some books to be displayed in the New Books collection. For these books the cataloger will select NEW BOOKS in the temporary location field. (If there is a temporary location added ,then this location will be the only location displaying in th public catalog)
1. From Circulation Module
a. DISCOVER> scan in barcode
b. EDIT ITEM>TEMPORARY location >NEW BOOKS>SAVE
(If a record has a temporary location as well as the permanent location -WMS will displays only the temporary location in the public catalog.)
c. double-check books in either circulation or in public catalog to be sure NEW BOOK displays as the location-
1 the fastest way is by scanning barcode in textbox.
(Cataloger can also add the temporary location when cataloging a book)
To remove a book from its temporary NEW BOOKS location

c. double-check books in public catalog to be sure NEW BOOKS has been removed as the location- ( the fastest way is by scanning barcode in textbox. )
Sometimes NEW BOOKS is added as the permanent location by mistake and there is no temporary location added. In these cases, simply select the appropriate permanent collection (based on the call number ) using the drop down menu, then click SAVE.
1. Add NEW BOOK label to spine of the book, above the the call number. Just be sure user can easily see the complete call number.
a. If the book has a book jacket- add NEW BOOK label over the book Jacket, not under the book jacket.
b. If book is a paperback without a plastic cover -its a good idea to apply a clear label on the spine of the book first, where you are going to place the NEW BOOK label- this will be a protective covering under the new book label- this will reduce the likelihood that the paper cover is torn when the NEW BOOK label is removed a few months later. The clear label stays on the paerback book-it is not removed.
2.. Remove New Book label
a. . Pull New Book label off spine, taking care not to rip, tear or remove spine label.
b. When necessary apply Goo Gone to remove stubborn adhesive residue on SPINE and also SIDES of the BOOK and wipe off excess. Sometimes you will need to apply more than once, waiting a few minutes between sessions to allow oils to come to the surface. Wipe away oily residue. Spray Goo Gone on the paper towel, not on the book surface itself -this will give you more control...
c. b. If book is a paperback without a plastic cover -there may be a clear label under the NEW BOOK label- this serves as a protective covering, reducing the likelihood that the paper cover is torn when the NEW BOOK label is removed a few months later. This clear label stays on the paperback book-it is not removed.
