This procedure is for processing items being transferred from one collection to another in Aleph. Most of the transfers are from Reference to Stacks or Folio*. For other types of transfers, the same procedure applies but the correct collection code and item status may be different from what's in this procedure.

Note: if BC already has a same copy in Stacks/Folios write a note - "Transfer duplicates", insert it in the book. Send duplicates to Collection Management Librarian for review.

Note: Please refer to "Procedure for Physical Processing of Transfers" for physical processing procedure..

  • Items measuring over 26cm (either height or width) are transferred to "FOLIO" collection. Substitute "STACK" with "FOLIO" in all instances.
  • Open Aleph Cataloging Module.
  • Search by barcode on the back cover.
    If no barcode is found, give item to the Database Management Librarian.
