We have a green dot sticker with the month added on the spine, above the regular call number label. After 6 months, dot is removed & book is moved out of our new section.

Hello all,

 

We currently use shelf location and pop-up notes at check-in on our library catalog to indicate which items get shelved in our NEW materials area. This works most of the time, but we have had a number of NEW items ending up in our regular collections lately. How do other libraries with designated NEW areas handle/process new items to help ensure that they get re-shelved in the NEW area and don’t end up in regular collections?

 

Thanks,

 

Kathy Brown, MLIS
