Adding an Item Record

1. From the item summary screen, select the "New Item" icon. The "New Item" icon is an image of a sheet sticking out of a manila envelope.

2. A dialog box will open, prompting you to choose an item template.
   
   Click OK to accept the default template, or click Browse to choose a different template. (Of course, if you don't have a template, you will have to create a template first.)
3. When you choose a template, the new item window will open. Fixed fields are set to the values specified in your template, and prompts for variable fields are those specified in your template.
   
4. Edit fixed fields. Pay particular attention to the Itype and location. For more instructions, check the document on fixed fields in the item record.
5. Add a call number in an appropriate field.
   • 050 for LC call number
   • 082 for Dewey call number
   • 086 for SuDocs or MoDocs call number
   • 099 for local call number
6. Add a barcode number. The system will ask whether you want to check for duplicates. Answer "Yes."
7. Add a volume designation if appropriate.
8. Double-check all fixed and variable fields for accuracy.

9. When you are satisfied that the item record is complete and correct, select the "Save" icon. The "Save" icon is an image of a blue computer diskette.
