B and M will be released to cataloging upon receipt.

C, N and O will be checked upon receipt for better record. If no better record in OCLC is available:

For C items, the status in BISON should be changed to "b" for backlog, and a "backlog slip" printed out.
Add a 940 field on the BIB screen (940::MEMBCOPY [year] [month])

For N items, add a 730 field on the BIB screen (730::TechPro [year] [month]). See instructions for processing TechPro items.

O items will be released to cataloging with action date and put on the "O" shelf.

"A"s and "L"s will be finished on BISON in the Acquisitions Dept.
