Cataloging Department
The Cataloging Department is responsible for the cataloging and final processing of all library materials received by
the Acquisitions Department. Catalogers create catalog records for serials and monographs, whether print or
nonprint,
including audiovisual materials, computer files, and electronic resources.
Library collections are cataloged following the latest revisions of the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules and Library of Congress practices as published in their rule interpretations. Print materials are classified using the Library of Congress classification schedules with the exception of materials in the closed-stack South Caroliniana Library, which are classified using Dewey Decimal classification.
Final physical processing and binding of cataloged materials are done in the Department's Binding and Preparations Unit on Level 5.
Requests for materials which the library catalog indicates are "In Process" should be turned in to Circulation, Reference, or via online format.
Such requests will be processed by the Cataloging Department, and the cataloged items will be held in Circulation for the requestor.
