Retriever Weekly procedures - pdf

1. Set up folder for Retriever Weekly volume on the master file storage (NAS). 

O:\Retriever\issues\VOL ## yyyy-yy

2.  Save the file received from the Retriever Weekly

File name: UARC_RW_####(Year)_##(Vol#)_##(Issue/Number#).pdf Example: UARC_RW_2003_37_08.pdf
  • Always use two digits for the Issue number.

  • In some instances the issues are labeled incorrectly; always name our files correctly and we will note any discrepancies in our CONTENTdm metadata. 

  • During the summer session there are often a few issues called The Pretriever.  These should be numbered in accordance with the volume numbering scheme, but sometimes there are discrepancies.  For example, a Pretriever may be number Vol 38, No 1 and then the first issue of The Retriever Weekly may also be Vol 38, No 1. In this instance name the file for the Pretriever UARC_RW_2003_38_01PRE.  Ask the Archivist before deviating from the traditional naming format.
