PRESERVATION FORM

When sending items to Preservation Services for repair, we ask that you print the preservation form from Aleph to accompany each item. From the Cataloging module, press the "Label" button in the "Items" view.

If you are sending books for commercial binding, please assign the item a new piggyback barcode and place the barcode in the appropriate place on the form. If you are requesting in-house repair, no new barcode is needed. If you are unsure, please include the barcode.

Macro

If you use Macro Express, this playable macro may help you process multiple items more quickly. To use the macro:

  • First scan the item into the second box in the upper left corner of Aleph. Make sure you are searching by barcode.
  • Activate the macro using whatever hotkey you have assigned to it in Macro Express.
  • Scan the new barcode. The macro will now print the preservation form.
  • Repeat these steps for each item.
