Where large collections are being dispersed,
the naval regional librarian will identify high
value or high demand items (current en-
cyclopedias,
reference materials, art books,
microfilm files, indexes, naval and military
history, local history files, etc.) that should
be retained within the Navy. Naval regional
librarians may arrange with naval service
activities within the assigned geographical area
to select books from such collections for their
general libraries. The receiving activity is respon-
sible for transportation arrangements.
Materials which cannot be utilized by naval
libraries within the geographical region should
be reported to NETPDC for instructions as to
their disposition.
SIMPLIFIED PROCESSING
PROCEDURES
All materials (books, magazines, tapes, etc.)
procured for the shipboard general library from
whatever source, must be processedthat is
prepared for library use. Processing begins with
the receipt of material and is complete when the
material is shelved for use by patrons. Each RP
working in the shipboard library needs to per-
form the basic processing steps described in this
section to assure the proper control and use of
library materials and to maintain uniformity
within the General Library Program.
Processing Supplies
Some processing supplies (book card, book-
card pocket, catalog cards) are centrally
furnished with the books in the monthly cloth-
bound distributions. Library materials received
from other sources (library book stock, special
requests, local procurement, gifts, etc.) do not
generally include processing supplies. Each com-
mand, therefore, needs to furnish the library
with a supply of the basic processing materials.
Stock numbers are given for supplies available
through Cog ØI inventory and General Services
Administration (GSA) stock. Many of the GSA
items are carried in local SERVMARTS. Con-
sult the GSA Stock Catalogs for additional
items. The RP should consult the naval regional
librarian for assistance in determining quantities
of supplies needed and for information on pro-
curing materials available from library supply
