Cataloging
Cataloging and classification for library materials purchased through Ingram or from other vendors can be supplied by NCKLS. Books or materials received as gifts or already owned by member libraries may also be sent to system headquarters for cataloging and processing. Records for all materials cataloged through NCKLS are automatically added to the
KOHA Catalog.
Call (785) 775-6255, ext. 103,
or email ahoskins@nckls.org.
Processing
Member libraries may choose to have book covers, cards, pockets, and labels added to books as needed. This allows libraries to receive materials in shelf-ready format. Fees for cataloging and processing differ based on service and library type.
Weeding
Weeding is an important part of collection management. NCKLS recommends the CREW manual for weeding.
Weeding is another term for de-selection. We want your collection to stay current, relevant, and in good condition for your community.
