Technical Services Department
The
Technical Services Department
(740.351.3410) located on the first floor of the
library, orders, receives, and processes all materials for the library
collection.
Each year we receive and process over 50,000 items
in various formats including books, periodicals, micros, videos,
maps, and government documents.

What We Do
-- Who We Are -- What Can We Do For You?
The
Technical Services Department is divided into four areas:
Acquisitions, Cataloging,
Government
Documents, and Serials. Please contact
Suzanne Johnson-Varney,
svarney@shawnee.edu (740.351.3410), Technical Services Librarian, if you have any
questions or concerns about this department. |
Acquisitions
The
Acquisitions area orders all book and media materials for the library's
collection. All bibliographic information (title, price, publisher,
etc.) is verified before an item is ordered. Various vendors and
publishers are used to take advantage of prices and availability.
If
you have further questions about Acquisitions, please contact:
Sandy Duduit --sduduit@shawnee.edu (740.351.3453)
|
Cataloging
The
Cataloging area enters new and maintains old bibliographic records
in SSU's online catalog. All materials are searched on OCLC (similar to WorldCat) in order to find "copy ready" records
to download into Clark Memorial Library's online catalog. If there is no record available, a new
one is created and then downloaded. The Cataloging area also processes
(i.e. stamps, labels, etc.) all materials to prepare them for your
use.
If
you have further questions about Cataloging, please contact:
Joan Scott--jscott@shawnee.edu

Government Documents
The
Government Documents area handles all materials (books, pamphlets,
maps, cd's, etc.) which we select and receive from the Government
Printing Office (GPO) as a Federal Depository Library. While the
initial ordering and receiving of Government Documents differs from
other library materials, in the end most documents are cataloged
and processed like other materials.
If
you have further questions about Government Documents, please contact:
Maggie Warnock--mwarnock@shawnee.edu

Serials
The Serials
area orders and receives all
magazines, journals, and newspapers. The library subscribes to over
1125 periodical titles in both paper and micro formats. As issues
are received, they are checked in through Clark Memorial Library's
online catalog. This allows us to show you the last issue received,
when the next issue is expected, or if there are any issues late or
missing.
How do I
order a magazine?
"I can't find today's "New York Times?"--
The "Columbus Dispatch," "Cincinnati Enquirer," and
"Portsmouth Daily Times" are the only newspapers delivered
directly to the library on the day they are published. All of
our other newspaper subscriptions, including the "New York
Times," are received through the mail 1-3 days later.
If
you have further questions about Serials, please contact:
