Cataloging: Software Included with Books
1. If there is a CD-ROM disc or floppy disk included with a book, open the envelope containing the disk/disc so the patron will not be the first to open it.
2. Write the call number on the disk/disc.
On CD-ROM discs, you can write with a narrow-point Sharpie pen on the colored surface (label side) of the disc. Floppy disks usually have a paper label you can write on.
3. If the disk is a square 3 1/2" floppy disk, put a label on the cover of the book that says, "Please Do Not Desensitize - Computer Disk Inside."
Maureen keeps labels for this in her top desk drawer. Help yourself to a label if she's not in the office.
4. Round CD-ROM discs cannot be erased by desensitizing, so they don't need a label.
